I have always loved the subject of history and culture, I found these chunks of rocks fascinating even though some might be bored of it. Browsing these ruined constructions brought up my imagination of how the ancient Roman citizens lived their life in that era.
and here are the things I saw...
Pompeii 2009/10/20
Mt Vesuvius in the background
on our way in
This place was padlocked o(´^｀)o
The Marcellum which is the marketplace
The Forum of Pompeii
it was the economic, religious and political center of Pompeii
Temple of Jupiter (picture below : far right are the marcellum buildings) it was a temple dedicated to Juno, Minerva, and Jupiter. It has twelve Corinthian columns, three on each side and six in the front.
all these ruined pillars...
The Temple of Apollo. There were several different deities in the temple: Apollo, Diana the Huntress, and possibly Mercury. The cellar is on a high platform and was the most sacred part of the temple.
The road leading from the forum to the northern walls of the city has two arches. The arch that faces to the main road of the city is called Road of Fortuna, dedicated to Caligola, and the arch to the right of the temple of Jupiter was to honor Nero Caesar.
Items that were rescued. On the right was the real dead body of a kid victim squatting while trying to cover his nose.
more of the dead bodies of the victims (／｡＼)
these bodies were pretty small in size, smaller than me
ancient paintings (人´∀｀)．☆．。．:*･
on the wall (｡_∀_｡) ♡
and another one... at one of the shops in the marketplace (ﾟｰ^*)
Thermal baths which is the city's public baths, Frigidarium in the picture which is also a pool
Openings on the roof that allow lights to enter
Caldarium which is the forum bath. There was communal central heating plant in it and was divided into two sections, for men and women. At the end of it was the Labrum which is a round basin.
Details on the wall of the bath ＼（○＾ω＾○）／ .The hollow walls form sturdy flues filled in with heated air.
The rail on the floor indicates that this ancient shop utilized a sliding door.
The ancient stove where they prepared culinary equivalent to fast food today. I wonder how does this thing work...?
One of the rich people's house, cause there was a pool in it.
a door in one of the big houses
what's in the house...
a beautiful fountain in the house（○●＾▽＾●○）./
wall painting by the left of the fountain (oﾟ▽ﾟ)o
another wall painting in one of the rooms （●＾U＾●）
how they numbered the houses (they are NOT the original numbers)
Row of houses
Tap water that comes out of the mouth of Hermès' statue
one of the poor people's house perhaps? o（〃￣ω￣〃ゞ ??
Horse railroad
The Lupanare which is the brothel in the red district area. The Brothel has ten beds. There were two entrances and five rooms at the ground-level floor, each with a bed built next to the wall.
Erotic paintings in the brothel. Prostitution was legal at that time.
Just some Roman writings
can't remember what this is... (｡_。).｡o0O?？appears like an ancient clock to me ?
