Pictures from Italy-- Pompeii March 8th

 















they had courtyards where they grew food





some had beautiful mosaic floors









The next 4 photos were taken in the forum of Pompeii. "The Civil Forum is the core of daily life of the city and is the focal point of all the main public buildings for city administration and justice, business management, and trade activities such as markets, as well as the main places of citizen worship."

these rooms were where the gladiators stayed with the animals they fought

the Quadriporticum was a covered walkway near the Large and Small theatres used to either travel between events or just gain cover from the rain.
