2. This gate provides access to the west of the city and it is the most impressive among the seven gates of Pompeii. The name derives from the fact that the exit road led to the sea. The layout with a barrel vault made of concrete, that is a mixture of mortar and stones, dates back to the Silla colony (80 BC).

3. 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.

4. The Forum Baths are located behind the Temple
of Jupiter and date back to the
years immediately after the founding of the colony of veterans by General Silla (80 BC). Women's and men's quarters had separate entrances. The men's section presents an apodyterium (dressing room), used also as a tepidarium (for medium temperature baths), frigidarium (for cold baths) and calidarium (for hot baths). Like many buildings in Pompeii, the baths were heavily damaged during the earthquake of 62 AD.

5. 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 wealth and social level of the owner are immediately evident from the street: the pavement bears the Latin welcome inscription (HAVE); the majestic door is framed with pillars with decorated capitals and the entrance floor is inlaid with multi-colored yellow, green, red and pink marble triangles (opus sectile).

6. 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'.

   5 min

About Nápoles

Apaixonada e caótica aos pés do Vesúvio, Nápoles é o berço da pizza e a porta de entrada para Pompeia, Capri e a Costa Amalfitana.

O centro histórico, uma densa malha de ruas traçada pelos antigos gregos, é um mundo de igrejas, nichos de rua e roupa estendida entre varandas. Spaccanapoli atravessa-o em linha reta, a Via San Gregorio Armeno é ladeada de oficinas de presépios e a Capela Sansevero guarda o espantoso Cristo Velado. No subsolo, túneis e cisternas revelam a cidade grega e romana que jaz por baixo.
