Recent discussions among Pompeii experts reaffirm the historical account given by Pliny the Younger concerning the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, dated to August 24, 79 AD. The accuracy of this account has faced scrutiny over time, largely due to discrepancies with archaeological findings, including charcoal inscriptions. However, the authenticity of Pliny's eye-witness testimony casts significant validity onto this date. Furthermore, recent archaeological work indicated the discovery of food remnants typical of autumn in the site, raising questions about the timeline of the eruption. There are also intriguing clues such as the find of Panis Quadratus—bread that was baked exclusively on Wednesdays—helping to pinpoint the day of the eruption. Given that a substantial portion of Pompeii remains unearthed, the potential for ongoing discoveries invites intrigue about historical accuracy and the daily life of its residents before the catastrophe.
