What to expect
Herculaneum
Uncover the secrets of the verdant House of the Deer with its animal mosaics, and marvel at the opulent Villa of the Papyri. Explore the daily life of ordinary citizens as you walk along the ancient main street Decumanus Maximus, lined with shops and houses. Right opposite the richly designed House of Neptune and Amphitrite, you will find the female entrance to the Stabian public baths. And don’t forget to visit the supposed ancient cult temple rumored to be run by imperially-sanctioned freedmen – College of Augustales.
