Visit of the ruins of the ancient 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 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).

Le Forum Civil est le cœur de la vie quotidienne de la ville et constitue le point focal de tous les principaux bâtiments publics pour l'administration et la justice de la ville, la gestion des affaires et les activités commerciales telles que les marchés, ainsi que les principaux lieux de culte des citoyens.

Les thermes du Forum sont situés derrière le temple de Jupiter et datent des années suivant immédiatement la fondation de la colonie de vétérans par le général Silla (80 av. J.-C.). Les quartiers des femmes et des hommes disposaient d'entrées séparées. La section des hommes comprend un apodyterium (vestiaire), également utilisé comme tepidarium (bains à température moyenne), frigidarium (bains froids) et calidarium (bains chauds). Comme de nombreux bâtiments de Pompéi, les thermes furent lourdement endommagés lors du tremblement de terre de 62 apr. J.-C.

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).

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'.

Le Grand Théâtre a été construit en exploitant la pente naturelle de la colline pour la construction de l'auditorium. L'escalier était divisé en trois zones avec des couloirs, eux-mêmes divisés en cinq secteurs, et reposait sur un passage voûté en berceau.
