It was a volcano, Vesuvius which erupted on 24/25 August AD 79.
A very good book on Pompeii called Pompeii: the Living City by Alex Butterworth and Ray Laurence, one a novelist and one an historian is very good on both the events and the history of the city.
It was not destroyed by lave but by earthquakes, rains of pumice and stones and the people were killed by this and an the toxic gases.

Certainly not a volcano, which is 'what' and not a 'who'. No,
the volcano did more to preserve Pompeii than has present day property owners who occupy uppermost portion of the volcanic soil hiding an undespoiled portion of Imperial Rome.
Italian volcanos exist and reasonably are able to repeat another Pompeii on a larger if more modern urban landscape.
The Italians of previous centuries, first as poorly paid well diggers eager to capitalize on any new source of revenue, and afterward by the wealthy who saw in the relics being unearthed symbols not only of former glory but a developing fashion statement that defined social class divisions. Take
note that the intelligentsia frequent artifacts in the museum
displays more than present equivalent of dirty well diggers.
Anyone who can claim to have seen something removed
from doomed Pompeiian's have joined ranks of those who
like an army occupy and extract wealth from the subjugated.

because it did not ensue. Feminism wasn't created until eventually eventually around the early twentieth century. What destroyed the Roman Empire change into slavery and laziness. Romans lost their part because they enable persons preserve them. The Germanic tribes got here in and slaughter them slightly by little until eventually eventually finally the empire change into split in 0.5. The western empire lingered then finally died. The jap empire, with the capital at Constantinople regained its footing for a time even though it latter withered away too. in order to recap quit blaming feminism for stupid issues. Slavery, laziness, and Aragance killed the Romans.
