Are there any theories with any sort of backing to explain the discrepancies between the generally accepted date of 24 August 79 for the eruption that destroyed Pompeii, with the heavy clothing worn by victims and seasonal fruit in the market from later in the year?

Can you link to any sources regarding the heavy clothing and seasonal fruits? It would help to see specifically evidence you are referencing.

As a side question: was the Roman calendar ever so inaccurate that winter fell in different months?
