Description
Explore the beauty and charm of ancient Pompeii during this tour lasting approximately 2 hours.
The itinerary will be as follows:
- The Basilica , with its extension of 1,500 square metres, was the most sumptuous building in the Forum, and its space was used for carrying out commercial activities and for the administration of justice.
- The Forum is the hub of the city's daily life and is the focal point of all the main public buildings for city administration and justice, business management and commercial activities, such as markets, as well as the main places of worship of the citizens.
- The Temple of Jupiter dominates the north side of the Forum, with Vesuvius rising spectacularly behind it. When the colony was founded (80 BC), the temple underwent a radical renovation and became a real Capitolium with the three cult statues of Jupiter, Juno and Minerva, which resembled those of the Capitolium in Rome, placed on a high base so as to make them visible to those passing by the Forum square.
- The Macellum consists of a tuff quadriportico with a room for worship in an elevated position on the eastern side, in line with the entrance. On the niches of the side wall there are copies of two marble statues, one female and one armed male, together with the fragment of a larger statue, probably belonging to an emperor, Titus or Vespasian, which indicates that this area was intended for imperial cult. On the left a room for meetings of a sacred table and on the right a large room with a brick counter perhaps for selling fish.
- Via dell'Abbondanza was the main street (decumanus maximus) of ancient Pompeii; it crossed the city in an east/west direction from the Forum to the Porta Sarno.
In ancient times the street was crowded and noisy with many shops, workshops ("officinae"), cafes, snack bars and restaurants.

- The Forum Baths are located behind the Temple of Jupiter and date back to the years immediately following the foundation of the veterans' colony by General Silla (80 BC). The women's and men's quarters had separate entrances. The men's section features an apodyterium (changing room), also used as a tepidarium (for medium temperature baths), frigidarium (for cold baths) and calidarium (for hot baths). Like many buildings in Pompeii, the baths were seriously damaged during the earthquake of 62 AD
- The house of Menandro is an excellent example of a Roman villa owned by a high-ranking family. It is richly decorated with wonderful frescoes representing scenes from the Trojan War; here many silver and pottery objects were found, now preserved in the Archaeological Museum of Naples. The house owes its name to an image of Menander, an Athenian poet, placed in the portico.
The house belonged to Quinto Poppeo Sabino of the Poppei family, relatives of the empress Poppea Sabina, Nero's second wife.

- The Great Theater of Pompeii was built by the Romans on the slope of a hill; they exploited the natural depression of the mountain to create a majestic auditorium divided into 5 sectors.
