Regio
VIII
Via
dell'Abbondanza
The Via dell'Abbondanza is Pompeii's
lower Decumanus. Its name
derives from a bas-relief that decorates a fountain located in the
initial section close to the Forum.
This long street connects the main points of the city
located between the Forum and the Sarno
Gate: the Forum itself, the Stabian
Baths, the Theaters,
the Temple of Isis
and the Amphitheater.
The street is the deliberate result of the city's urbanistic
rationalization. Unearthed only at the beginning of this century, it is
still rich with decorations, so that it represents for visitors the most
suggestive trip in the ruins. Along this street we find many of the most
beautiful houses, some having two-stories, where the rich Pompeian
merchant middle-class lived: the House
of the Cryptoportico, the House
of Paquius Proculus, the House
of the Chaste Lovers, the House
of Gaius Julius Polybius, the House
of Loreius Tiburtinus, the
House of Venus
in the Shell and the House
of Julia Felix.
