I terremoti del I secolo d.C. a Pompei. Osservazioni intorno ai danni e consolidamenti nelle Terme Stabiane con particolare riguardo ad uno sperone nel Destrictarium

A new analysis of the Terme Stabiane in Pompeii reveals that earthquakes in the first century AD significantly damaged its masonry structures, with evidence suggesting at least two distinct seismic events. The study highlights reconstruction and strengthening efforts by Roman builders, including a buttress in the Destrictarium, which provides insights into the chronology of these events. By combining architectural observations with mechanical analysis, researchers have reconstructed the sequence of earthquakes leading up to Vesuvius' catastrophic eruption in 79 AD.
