Forum of Pompeii, Italy - Sept. 2017
√ Daily Life of the forum at Pompeii and Herculaneum | Ancient History
#iitutor #AncientHistory #HumanRemains
The forum was the centre of an Ancient Roman city, it was the CBD of today’s cities. The forum was a large rectangular shape and it was surrounded by the most important buildings. It was 137 metres by 47 metres. This was where the majority of the following activities took place: Political, Administrative, Legal, Commercial, Religious, and Social activities. Pompeii was planned with the forum as its central focus. It was at a crossroads. Access to the forum was by two staircases from the Via Marina or the Via dell’Abbondanza. There were several important buildings which surrounded the forum: The Temple of Jupiter, The temple of the public Lares, Temple of Apollo, Basilica, Building of Eumachia, Temple of Vespasian and Administrative buildings. The Macellum:
This was located at the forum. It was a meat and fish market. Fruit, vegetables, cereals, and other produce were sold from shops and stalls. The open area in the middle was paved in grey Tufa. Today it is covered in grass and dirt. There was a strong Hellenistic influence on the forum until it became a Roman colony. It then underwent change to reflect the needs of the inhabitants. It was damaged by the earthquake in 62 A.D. and by 79 A.D. only a little restoration work had been done.

Visiting the Ruins of Pompeii, Italy Travel Guide Transcript:
While many travellers visit Pompeii on a day trip, we chose to base ourselves here for a few days. The main draw, of course, were the ruins of Pompeii, an ancient Roman city that was buried under ash and pumice when Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD. We spent half a day walking through the world's largest excavation and archaeological site, and what follows it our mini travel guide.
Our first stop inside the complex was the Amphitheatre of Pompeii. Built around 70 BC, this is the oldest surviving Roman amphitheatre to have been built of stone; for comparison the Colosseum in Rome wouldn’t come into existence for another century. We toured the grounds and also checked out the music exhibit on site, because it turns out a lot of bands have played here over the years!
After visiting the amphitheatre which is on the very east end, we started making our way into the city. The streets were cobbled and all along there were rows of houses and villas, many of them with impressive frescoes that tell the tale of a wealthy city with lavish homes.
One of the reasons Pompeii is so well preserved is because it was buried quickly by volcanic ash and pumice, plus the lack of air and moisture also allowed for the buried artifacts to be extremely well preserved. Stepping into the homes is like stepping into the past; you can still see the elaborate mosaic floors and vibrant frescoes frozen in time.
Continuing our walk through Pompeii, we eventually reached the Forum. This square would have been the centre of life for locals with temples, municipal buildings, and markets. The statue of the centaur, half-man half-horse, is a focal point, as is the view of Mount Vesuvius looking down on the ruins.
To finish off our visit of Pompeii, we walked along the southern edge of the ruined city where we saw the casts of the victims of Vesuvius. When archaeological teams began excavating Pompeii, they noticed there were large voids in the compacted ash whenever they were digging around bones. By pouring plaster into the spaces, they were able to capture the final poses of the residents’ last moments in the city.
One of the best discoveries of our time in Pompeii was Pizzeria Alleria, we stumbled here soaking wet on our first night in the city and we just couldn’t stay away after that. Here’s what the fuss is all about.
After that, we ended up getting a second Margherita pizza - the first one was just too tasty! - and then we also ordered the Nutella cheesecake, which was just as decadent as it looks.
We started our do-it-yourself tour of modern Pompei at Piazza Bartolo Longo, a beautiful plaza lined with palm trees right in the heart of the city. Standing in the square, it’s impossible to miss the Shrine of the Virgin of the Rosary of Pompei, where once you step you are greeted with painted domes and golden ceilings. And then from there, we went to the top of the bell tower for a 360-degree views of the city.
This is part of our Travel in Italy video series showcasing Italian food, Italian culture and Italian cuisine.

Italy, Pompeii - Temple of Jupiter (Capitolium)
Photographer:Samuel Magal (samuel@sites-and-photos.com)
The Temple of Jupiter, Capitolium, was a temple in Roman Pompeii, at the north end of its forum. Initially dedicated to Jupiter alone, it was built in the mid-2nd century BC at the same time as the temple of Apollo was being renovated - this was the area at which Roman influence over Pompeii increased and so Roman Jupiter superseded the Greek Apollo as the town's highest god. Jupiter was the ruler of the gods and the protector of Rome, where his temple was the center of Roman Religion and of the cult of state.
EURO TRIP 2018 | ROME & POMPEII | WHAT HAPPENED AT THE FORUM?!?!
Hello lovelies and welcome to the second part of my vlog! In this one, Anita and I head to Rome for some adventure and to transport ourselves back in time to when Caesar and August were alive and doing some cool things. In this vlog, you'll see us explore the city of Rome. We go to Vatican City, the Tiber River, The Colosseum, The Ara Pacis, Ara Sacra, Via Appia, Palatine Hill, Villa Medici, Roman Forum, and Pompeii. We also stopped by the Spanish Plaza, Spanish Steps, the Pantheon, and the Trevi Fountain. Honestly, I was so happy to finally be able to see these beautiful sites in person rather than in a book! I hope you enjoy the vlog! Up next is Greece!

Italy, Pompeii -The Macellum (Market)
Photographer:Samuel Magal (samuel@sites-and-photos.com)
The Macellum of Pompeii is located outside the northeast corner of the forum. As the city continued to grow, it was necessary to relieve pressure on the forum. When the Macellum was first discovered, because of the twelve column bases in the center, the excavators at first believed it was a kind of pantheon, a temple dedicated to many gods. However, when subsequent excavation turned up the remains of cereals and fruits in the north side of the building and fish scales and bones in the middle of the courtyard, the archeologists realized that this was a market
