They will be visiting the ruins of the ancient Roman town of Pompeii

This gate provides access to the west of the city and it is the most impressive among the seven gates of Pompeii.

The Civil Forum is the core of daily life of the city and is the focal point of all the main public buildings for city administration and justice, business management, and trade activities such as markets, as well as the main places of citizen worship.

This space was used to carry out business and for the administration of justice. It is accessed from the Forum through five entrances separated by tuff pillars

This was a small cook-shops where hot food was sold

It is one of the larger houses of Pompeii, covering an entire block of about 3000 sqm and, according to its original layout, it dates back to the 2nd century BC.

The house, one of the richest and most famous in Pompeii, is under the protection of Priapus, the god of prosperity, painted to the right of the door, symbolizing the economic success of the owners, the brothers Aulus Vettius Restitutus and Aulus Vettius Conviva liberti, who became rich through trade.

The pool is found to the left, whereas a colonnade is found to the right, which leads to the men’s quarters, which are split into the apodyterium (dressing room), with the frigidarium (for cold baths), which leads to the tepidarium (for medium temperature baths) and then to the calidarium (for hot baths).

The Brothel

The prostitutes in the brothel were mostly Greek and Oriental slaves who were paid between two and eight Asses (a glass of wine cost one Ass) for their services.

The building has two floors. The homes of the owner and the slaves are at the top and there are five rooms at the bottom, all fitted with a built-in bed, on both sides of the corridor that connects the two entrances of the ground floor. The rooms were closed by a curtain. A latrine is seen at the end of the corridor, under the staircase.

Small paintings with erotic depictions on the walls of the central corridor informed customers of the activities that took place within the Lupanare.

The brothel is named from lupa, a Latin word meaning ‘prostitute’.

The Grand Theatre was built by exploiting the natural slope of the hill for the construction of the auditorium. The staircase was separated into three areas with corridors, which were in turn divided into five sectors, and was based on a passage with a barrel vault.

This amphitheatre is the oldest among those known from the Roman times. Built in 70 BC, just before the colony was founded, on the initiative of magistrates Caius Quinctius Valgus and Marcus Porcius who also had the Odeon built
