Erotic Art in Pompeii and Herculaneum has been both exhibited as art and censored as  pornography. Roman cities around bay of Naples were destroyed by eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, thereby preserving their buildings and artefacts until extensive archaeological excavations began in 18th Century AD.
