MONDAY 
POMPEII

The caldarium, or steam bath room, had heated floors. Of course when Vesuvius blew, the whole damned city was pretty heated.
This is a fountain in the steam room. The writing on the edge tells that it was paid for by two politicians and how much it cost.
Here's some of that no-slip tile floor.
They didn't really eat at the cafeteria we saw earlier, but they did get food here at the thermopolium. In current day terms it was fast food joint.
Pots of food were held in these holes in the marble counters.
The groove in the stone at the front is for the shop's accordion doors.
I didn't get it in the photo, but below this mosaic of a dog are the words "CAVE CANUM", the Roman equivalent of "Beware of Dog".
It is at the entryway of the House of the Tragic Poet, which was a fairly typical Roman house.
A small garden in the house.
A little kitchen.
Some of the frescos are pretty well preserved.
This is an aqueduct arch across a street.
At the entrance to the House of the Faun is this ancient Roman welcome mat. Alright, it's not really a mat, just some tiles in the ground. But it spells "HAVE", which means "Hail to you". So you see, welcome.
Again, this is not the original Dancing Faun statue. The original is also in Naples.
This house is the largest in Pompeii.
These are remnants of pipes, specifically 2000 year-old lead pipes made of lead from Britannia.
This is a fresco in the House of the Vettii and yeah, that basically is what you think it is. It's a bowl of fruit. Oh, and a guy with a massive erection. He is Priapus, a minor fertility god. But it wasn't some kind of weird wall porn, according to the guide. As you can see the penis is balanced on a scale against a sack of money over the fruit, apparently meaning that only with a balance of fertility and money can you have abundance.
Outside the house is one of the public stone fountains, although I don't think the tap is original.
The winding road that leads to...
...the bakery and mill. There's an oven and flour grinders. There was a place like this in each neighborhood.
The ruts are chariot grooves worn into the road.
I did not note what house this was.
Nice tile work on this what I assume is an altar.
