What would Pompeii be like if Vesuvius Never Erupted?

 

When you think of Pompeii, you think of the massive eruption in 79 CE and subsequent mass killing of the Romans who inhabited Pompeii and Herculaneum. You may picture the eerie casts that lay around the streets of Pompeii and the faces of those who perished in the fires of Vesuvius.
But what if Vesuvius had never erupted?

What if Pompeii and Herculaneum still stood and weren’t smothered by the volcano’s historic eruption?
