*** Pompeii was older than Rome. Part of the Greek colonies since the 8th century B.C.E., it defended itself from Etruscans in the 6th century. Back then it was a major trading city, far superior to Rome. It joined the Roman alliance after the Samnian War, and became organized after the Campanian War. As it was more Greek than Roman historically, the animosity towards Rome could actually be more of an example of ShownTheirWork, and not an ArtisticLicenseHistory.
*** But by 79 C.E. Pompeii was very much a Roman town. Most of the people living in Pompeii at the time would have been the children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren of Roman Soldiers and Colonists who settled in the area after the Social Wars ended in 88 B.C.E. Bear in mind the Social War happened because the citizens of Rome’s allies didn't think that they were being treated as equals to Roman Citizens. Which was resolved when Roman Citizenship was extended to all the residents of the Italian Peninsula.
