It's my understanding that the eruption and resultant lava flow destroyed everything, to the point that nothing survived. Here is some more information for you, if you are interested in doing further research on this fascinating subject: http://www.cotf.edu/ete/modules/volcanoes/vmtvesuvius.html +5

Not to my knowledge, but there are records which were kept elsewhere.
