- "The "Dancing Feet" spell has its origins in ancient Italy, but is best remembered for its improper usage by Warlock Zaccaria Innocenti who is credited with conjuring a 'dance' within Mt. Vesuvius in 79 AD."
- — Reason for Mt. Vesuvius's eruption[1]
Zaccaria Innocenti (fl. 79 AD) was an ancient Roman warlock who lived during the 1st century AD.[2] He misused the Dancing Feet Spell in 79 AD, conjuring a 'dance' within Mt. Vesuvius,[2] resulting in its eruption, which destroyed the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum, killing at least 1500 people.[3] His improper usage of the spell is what he and the spell is most remembered for. Whether or not he was one of the eruption's casualties is unknown.
Etymology
"Zaccaria" is the Italian form of Zechariah,[4] a Hebrew name meaning "God remembers",[5] while Innocenti is an Italian surname that derives from the Italian word for "innocent" (innocente).[6] Neither is consistent with the naming conventions of ancient Rome, but this may be explained as wizarding names not necessarily adhering to non-magical naming conventions.
