Roman city that was buried (7)

I believe the answer is:

pompeii

(Other definitions for pompeii that I've seen before include "Ruined Roman town" , "Town buried by Vesuvius 1st century a.d." , "Roman city destroyed in 79AD" , "City destroyed but preserved by Vesuvius" , "town coming to a terrible end" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
