What makes Semi-Private Guided Tour and Pompeii Ticket Priority Entrance a unique experience ?
A typical elegant house of the imperial age is represented by the House of the Poeta tragico, inside which there is the famous floor mosaic “Cave Canem”
In vicolo dei Vetti stands one of the most beautiful and luxurious houses of Pompeii: the House of the Vettii which takes its name from its owners, Aulo Vettio Restituto and Aulo Vettio Conviva.
Probably one of the most visited places by tourists is this 2 storey building for its prostitutes and their business. There were other brothels in town but these were usually located above a tavern or in private abodes not too luxurious either. The place was made up of 5 rooms on the ground floor and 5 on the upper one. Every room had a concrete bed with maybe, if you were lucky, a mattress or a mat.
The Forum in Pompei was reserved to pedestrians and carts were not allowed. Only public buildings overlooked this area which was about 142 metres long and 38 metres wide. The Forum today is bare of statues and its ornate flooring and marble work. It is believed that after the eruption, the area got dug up and these were then re-used in other works.
The thermal baths, or spas, whatever you want to call them, were situated outside the city walls. Its nearby port (in fact several large rocks where boats could be moored) these baths were probably used by travelers, and not by the folk of Pompeii.
Lovely, the House of Fauna lends its name to a bronze statue of a faun located in the impluvium. Its one of the most famous in the whole of Pompei.
The prestigious house (2,000 sq. metres) gets its name from an affresco of the poet Menandro. In this abode we found 118 objects in silver, obviously tableware of great interest are the affrescoes depicting the Trojan war: the death of Laocoonte: Cassandra and Ulysses
The Romans loved their games or fights as you wish, gladiators against gladiators and such like Pompei had an arena for these barbaric sports too. The amphitheatre could house up to 20,000 people on 3 different levels. what we have found out at Pompei during the hot summer months, the spectators were protected by a type of dark linen covering. Adjacent to the arena you could see the great gymnasium where youngsters would work out.
The worshipping of the God Apollo arrived a bit before the eruption of 79 A.C. This cult had lost many of its tempio di apollofollowers due to Jupiter being a stronger God.
There’s a bronze statue of the God represented with his bow and arrow plus a statue of the Goddess Diana.
