Greek rather than Roman? The Greek influence in both towns is undeniable. In fact Greek influence in the area can be traced back to the 5th century BCE when Greek colonists used the area as a trading centre and port.
Some interpretations of the names of both towns trace their origins back to this period of Greek influence.
Herculaneum has some connection to the Greek god (?) Herkules.
Pompeii may have been derived from the Greek word “pompa” meaning religious procession.
