ItalyBased on archaeological evidence, in Roman times Torre del Greco was probably a suburb of Herculaneum and, like elsewhere on the Bay of Naples such as at Oplontis and Stabiae, many patricians' villas would have lined the coast [1]. In 79 AD the eruption of Vesuvius buried the area under volcanic ash [1]. Later two villages are known to have been established in the area, Sora and Calastro [1]. The Byzantine general Belisarius moved their inhabitants to Naples in 535 [1].
