Ringraziamenti: ThanksOur grateful thanks to all who have helped us in this project, especially Pier Giovanni Guzzo and Antonio D'Ambrosio, Soprintendenza Archeologica di Pompei for the necessary permits to visit the site (arranged through the British School at Rome) and for permission to publish this web site. We would also like to thank the many Custodians who have taken us around and made good use of their bunches of keys. This project would not have been possible without the personal help of Andrew Wallace-Hadrill, Maria Pia Malvezzi and Mattia Buondonno. To them we give our special thanks.

Pompeii has always intrigued me.
Having read many books on the ancient city, I had found it most confusing
when, for example two different books gave a differing location for the same
property. Many of the books only
contained photos of the same well visited houses.
None showed the smaller homes and houses, which seemed ignored but
just as interesting.
With my husband as photographer I have tried to build a photographic record indicating all the doorways of houses, shops, temples, workshops, bars and ancient pubs as a way to clear the mystery once and for all. In using this site you can see Pompeii as it really is.
The structure and approach of the siteThe pictures on this site correspond with the numbers on the doorways and the Pompeii Plan of Excavations (Autore Dr. Ing. Hans Eschebach) which you can buy for 8 euros in the bookshops next to the ticket offices at Pompeii. Every property (house, caupona, workshop, shop etc) has its own web page based on the standard regio . insula . house number such as IX.11.1 used for the excavations at Pompeii. See Numbering for a detailed explanation. The regio.insula.house numbers given on a web page or plan correspond to the numbers on the doorway, on the plan and onsite. Using our 10,000 photographs, comparing the photographs of the numbers, the property either side or behind and matching the edges of the photographs we believe the house numbered photograph pages are a highly accurate record of what is on the ground. There will no doubt be occasional difficulties where one house merges into another with no easily spotted boundary. The house names have however been gathered from a number of sources and there are bound to be discrepancies. You will find the same house may have many different names or has been renamed or referred to by different names, accurately or inaccurately, over the last few centuries. Not all houses have names. If it is important to your research you should check the accuracy out yourself. Remember throughout this pompeiiinpictures site that its name and email addresses have three iii and no spaces. The site has been designed for a screen resolution of 800 by 600 and to meet the standard of a maximum of 30 seconds load time using a 28.8 modem. As it is a picture site this has not always been possible and a few pages may be a little slower than this. All pictures are reduced to the web resolution of 640 by 480 pixels for publication.
Picture useThese pictures are intended for private and academic use. They must not be used for commercial purposes without the permission of the Minister for the Cultural Assets and Activities - Archaeological Soprintendenza of Pompeii.
