The
Temple of Isis, dating
from pre-Roman days, was
almost entirely rebuilt after
the earthquake of 62, at the
expense of Popidius Celsinus.
The sanctuary is surrounded
by high walls and consists of
a shrine on a high podium
with a pronaos and a narrow,
rectangular cella.

The
House of Pansa.
Built during the Samnite age,
this enormous house was
divided into small apartments
to rent. It has a large
pool in the peristyle, instead
of the typical garden.

The
bakery, formerly an
older house. The western
half remained a dwelling,
while the other was trans-
formed into a pistrinum or
bread bakery, where milling,
cooking and baking were
done. A stable contained
animals that turned the mill.

A
water fountain along the
streets of Pompeii. You can
see, what is likely by modern
man, a steel plate inlaid
into the two seperate rock
pieces, solidifying the
whole structure.
