My research topic is Pompeiian life eruption, excavation, and modern Pompeii. Pompeii was a prosperous city under Roman rule. It was a popular resort location for rich romans and kings. Mt. vesuvius was the volcano that froze a day of Roman life in 79 A.D. Mt. vesuvius stood 4,190 feet tall.
Most people think that there were little or no survivors of Pompeii. This is not the case. Pompeii's Population was around 20,000 people. Of these about 500-1500 people escaped in time to save their lives. Two of these people decided to write about their terrifying experience.
This sounds like a very interesting source, and seems like a good research topic.
