The
Streets of Pompeii
|
|
The Streets of Pompeii were paved during Roman times with large polygonal
blocks of stone. They are bordered by curbs and pedestrian walkways.
On most streets there are raised stones at regular intervals that pedestrians
used to cross the streets when water flooded them.

the sea.

for its aesthetic value.

Nola. Here you can see the pedestrian crossing in the distance, near where
the girl is standing.

brothel, named Via degli Agustali.
