Day 26.

Another day in Pompeii, filled with houses that the public ain't allowed into, I hope you enjoy these rare pictures!


The fauces mosaic from the Casa dei Chingalle II.


The inside of the Praedia Iulia. This is the "domus" part of a almost complete insula that was rented out only two weeks before the eruption. Included was the tabernar pergulae and balneum venerium! (Shops with a living area and fine baths)


The very famous fresco that give Casa de Manandro it's name.


A lararium or other altar from the Casa de Manandro.


A bunch of amphorae from the normally off limits Casa dell'Efebo.


A beautiful mosaic depicting a hypocamp and some other sea creature.


The lararium from the Casa del Poeta Tragico.


The Nola gate, only recently opened to the public.
