City buried by Mt. Vesuvius (7)

I believe the answer is:

pompeii

(Other definitions for pompeii that I've seen before include "Italian town near Naples buried by Vesuvius in AD 79" , "Roman site" , "Ancient city in Italy" , "City buried by Vesuvius eruption" , "Former city" .)

I've seen this clue in The Star Tribune.
