Ancient city buried by an eruption of Vesuvius (7)

I believe the answer is:

pompeii

(Other definitions for pompeii that I've seen before include "Old Italian city" , "Ancient Italian city" , "Roman city south-east of Naples" , "Ancient city buried under Mount Vesuvius ash" , "Buried Roman city" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
