Estimates vary, but it is believed that Pompeii had a population of around 10,000 to 20,000 people before the eruption in 79 AD. This figure is based on the size of the city, the number of buildings, and the capacity of the infrastructure. The exact population number is difficult to determine with certainty due to the lack of complete records from that time period.
We have no idea of the number of people killed or injured in the 79 eruption of Pompeii because we have no firm idea of how many people lived in the area. Any figure given out is always speculation and it is always stated as so by the writers.

People who lived at the time remembered it but when they died out all memory of Pompeii was forgotten.

How many people were killed when the volcano in Pompeii erupted?
We don't know and probably never will know. There were other towns beside Pompeii that were destroyed and lives were lost. Pompeii itself, is not fully excavated. We have no census of the area at the time of the eruption, so we don't know how many people even lived around there. So it's unlikely that we will ever get a true count of all the lives lost.

What things did people leave behind as they were fleeing from the eruption of Mount Vesuvius?
Pompeii was a city buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in the year 79 A.D. The eruption also changed the course of the Sarno River and raised the sea beach, so that Pompeii was now neither on the river nor adjacent to the coast. Vesuvius itself underwent major changes - its slopes were denuded of vegetation and its summit changed considerably due to the force of the eruption.
