Eyewitness accounts of the disaster  survive written by Pliny the Younger, a prominent writer and statesman.

著名作家和政治家小普林尼对这场灾难的目击者描述幸存下来。

One  of the possible dates is August 24, which Pliny the Younger documents in his letters  twenty-five years later, and it would make sense.

其中一个可能的日期是 8 月 24 日，小普林尼在 25 年后的信中记录了这一天，这是有道理的。
