Highlights

Stories buried for 2,000 years

The Alexander Mosaic
House of the Faun · 2nd century BC

Over 1.5 million hand-cut tesserae depict Alexander the Great defeating Darius III at the Battle of Issus. The largest and finest mosaic surviving from the ancient world.

The Frozen Fugitives
Garden of the Fugitives · 79 AD

Thirteen plaster casts of victims caught mid-flight. A family huddled together. A man shielding his face. The ash preserved the exact moment of death.

The Election Slogans
Via dell'Abbondanza · 79 AD

Painted campaign ads still visible on the walls. "Vote for Lollius — he brings good bread." The world's oldest surviving political advertisements.

The Oldest Amphitheatre
Amphitheatre · 70 BC

Built over a century before the Colosseum, this is the oldest surviving stone amphitheatre in the world. It seated 20,000 — nearly the entire population of Pompeii.

The Secret Frescoes
Villa of the Mysteries · 60 BC

Life-size frescoes depicting a mysterious Dionysiac initiation ritual. Scholars have debated their meaning for over a century. The pigments are still vivid.

The Lupanar
Pompeii's Brothel · 1st century AD

The only purpose-built brothel identified in Pompeii, with explicit frescoes above each doorway that may have served as a menu. Stone beds with no mattresses.
