House of Sallust, Pompeii, Italy
The House of Sallust at Pompeii (Region VI, Insula 2, Building 4) is a house that dates back to the 3rd century BC. It retains a lot of First Style paintings and is dominated by its vast atrium. The garden was accessed through the tablinum and was a strange, narrow trapezoidal shape which filed the gap between the back of the house and the east wall of the insula. A small garden with peristyle was added to the right (south) of the entrance in the 1st century BC. One theory is that the house had, by then, been converted into a hotel and that this new garden and surrounding chambers were the owner's private quarters. The house was better preserved originally - but it was hit by Allied bombs in 1943 during WW2.
Pompeii and the House of Sallust - 3D Reconstruction
The House of Sallust at Pompeii was discovered more than 200 years ago, and still is one of the best-preserved elite homes in the city. In it, you can see both continuity & modification -- both reflecting the tastes and styles of Roman life over time. I have used the Medieval Engineers software engine with many mods to create this walkable, playable, explorable version. This introduction will show you a little bit about how Romans conceived of the idea of home and how they used their space to reflect their values. I hope you enjoy!
If you have Medieval Engineers, you can download and walk through this whole Pompeii build yourself, at no extra charge. It's on the Steam Workshop:

Walk around in a 3D splendid house from the ancient Pompeii
By combining traditional archaeology with 3D technology, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have managed to reconstruct a house in Pompeii to its original state before the volcano eruption of Mount Vesuvius thousands of years ago. Unique video material has now been produced, showing their creation of a 3D model of an entire block of houses.
After the catastrophic earthquake in Italy in 1980, the Pompeii city curator invited the international research community to help document the ruin city, before the state of the finds from the volcano eruption in AD 79 would deteriorate even further. The Swedish Pompeii Project was therefore started at the Swedish Institute in Rome in 2000. The researcher in charge of the rescue operation was Anne-Marie Leander Touati, at the time director of the institute in Rome, now Professor of Classical Archaeology and Ancient History at Lund University.
Since 2010, the research has been managed by the Department of Archaeology and Ancient History in Lund. The project now also includes a new branch of advanced digital archaeology, with 3D models demonstrating the completed photo documentation. The city district was scanned during the field work in 2011–2012 and the first 3D models of the ruin city have now been completed. The models show what life was like for the people of Pompeii before the volcano eruption of Mount Vesuvius. The researchers have even managed to complete a detailed reconstruction of a large house, belonging to the wealthy man Caecilius Iucundus.
“By combining new technology with more traditional methods, we can describe Pompeii in greater detail and more accurately than was previously possible”, says Nicoló Dell´Unto, digital archaeologist at Lund University.
Among other things, the researchers have uncovered floor surfaces from AD 79, performed detailed studies of the building development through history, cleaned and documented three large wealthy estates, a tavern, a laundry, a bakery and several gardens. In one garden, they discovered that some of the taps to a stunning fountain were on at the time of eruption – the water was still gushing when the rain of ash and pumice fell over Pompeii.
The researchers occasionally also found completely untouched layers. In a shop were three, amazingly enough, intact windows (made out of translucent crystalline gypsum) from Ancient Rome, stacked against each other. By studying the water and sewer systems they were able to interpret the social hierarchies at the time, and see how retailers and restaurants were dependent on large wealthy families for water, and how the conditions improved towards the end, before the eruption.
An aqueduct was built in Pompeii, enabling residents to no longer having to rely on a few deep wells or the tanks of collected rainwater in large wealthy households.
The work behind the 3D film and a discussion on the credibility of the reconstructions are presented in an article, published in SCIRES Italy.
Istituto di Scienza e Tecnologie dell'Informazione and the Humanities Lab at Lund University have contributed to the development of the material and 3D work.

DOMUS of CAIO JULIUS POLYBIUS IN POMPEII
The house has come to life again thanks to a long and elaborate process of interdisciplinary study based on the diaries of the excavation, drawn up in the 70s, and other analytical data, achieved by Altair 4 Multimedia on request of the University of Tokyo, specifically of Prof. Masanori Aoyagi with the assistance by Dr. Annamaria Ciarallo, head of the laboratory of Applied Research of the Archaeological Soprintendenza of Pompeii.
To obtain the elaboration of the video, Altair 4 of Rome performed a digital restoration on tens of frescos, a virtual reconstruction of all the house and the dynamics of the eruption and its impact, which involved 12 scientists, modelers and 3D graphics, for a total of over 10,000 hours working.
The complex reconstruction work was displayed with three-dimensional processing that accompanies the viewer to discover the rooms of the house, rebuilt in every detail, including the exact position of the objects of daily use, as well as have been found. The aim of the film is to give the visitor back a house still ‘alive’, just a moment before the catastrophe, and to illustrate its destruction and rediscovery. This narration can, therefore, be considered exemplary for the entire ancient town.
Some rare historical pictures showing the house at the time of its discovery, have been superimposed to the corresponding virtual images: this leap in time allows us to perceive and compare the vision of what remained with what has been reconstructed virtually.
Apart from the images in the viewer, on request, it is possible to have videos or other images from different perspectives.

Italy, Pompeii - House of the Faun
Photographer:Samuel Magal (samuel@sites-and-photos.com)
The House of the Faun was built in the 2nd century BC during the Samnite period (80 BC).There is evidence, most notably in the eastern walls of the tetrastyle atrium, that after the great earthquake in AD 62, the House of the Faun was rebuilt and/or repaired yet, the building was only used again until AD 79, ultimately rendered unusable by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius.

Pompeii, Italy - A Roman house.
Pompeii is a ruined and partially buried Roman city near modern Naples in the Italian region of Campania. Along with Herculaneum, its sister city, Pompeii was destroyed and completely buried during a catastrophic eruption of the volcano Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. The eruption buried Pompeii under 4 to 6 meters of ash and pumice, and it was lost for nearly 1,600 years before its accidental rediscovery around 1592. Since then, its excavation has provided an extraordinarily detailed insight into the life of a city at the height of the Roman Empire.
Today, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Italy, with approximately 2,500,000 visitors every year.

About this Pompeii mini-documentary:
Pompeii was an ancient Roman city near Naples, in Italy. It was mostly destroyed and buried under 4 to 6 meters of volcanic ash and pumice in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.
Today it’s some distance inland, but in ancient times was nearer to the coast. Pompeii is about 10 km away from Mount Vesuvius and covered a total of about 66 hectares.
About two thirds of the city has been uncovered.
The film features the ancient theatres and amphitheatre, streets and homes, bars and baths of ancient Pompeii.
The film ends at the Garden of the Fugitives, where there are casts of victims who died while attempting to flee and were then buried by volcanic ash and pumice.

Italy, Pompeii - Brothel Lupanar
Photographer:Samuel Magal (samuel@sites-and-photos.com)
The Roman word for brothel was lupanar, meaning a wolf den, and a prostitute was called a lupa (she-wolf).
Early Pompeian excavators, guided by the strict modesty of the time period, quickly classified any building containing erotic paintings as brothels. Using this metric, Pompeii had 35 lupanares. Given a population of ten thousand in Pompeii during the first century CE, this leaves one brothel per 286 people or 71 adult males.
Pompeii: Upper Class Meets Working Class
In ancient Pompeii, the richest and poorest lived amid each other, often separated only by a thin partition wall. Their lives & worlds also mingled on the streets. The smell of bakeries, the din of smithies, the hustle and bustle of taverns and shops. Take a short tour of the various industry & commerce, patronage & charity one could find within steps of the elite House of Sallust.

-- House of Sallust is Regio VI, Insula 2, Units 1-6 and 30-32.
-- Smithy & taverns of Acisculus / Phoebus are Insula 1, Units 14-18

Pompeii Virtual Walk in 4K Part 4
This virtual walk begins on the Via di Mercurio. You'll soon arrive at the House of the Small Fountain(Casa dell Fontana Piccola) where you will see the recently restored garden fountain and bronze statue of a fisherman. You'll then continue to the largest and most famous house in all Pompeii, the House of the Faun (Casa del Fauno). A dancing faun was found inside the house when it was first excavated back in 1831. Inside you will see beautiful floor mosaics, two indoor gardens called peristyles, and the famous dancing faun. Moments later you will be inside another luxurious residence called the House of the Vettii, named for its owners, Aulus Vettius Conviva and Aulus Vettius Restitutus. Inside you will see several beautifully painted frescoes, an ancient safe and a unique fountain statue of Priapus, the god of fertility, marked by his over sized permanent erection. Finally you will walk down Vico dei Vettii to the Castellum Aquae, the ancient cistern that supplied Pompeii with its fresh water. The walk ends after going through the Vesuvius gate and walking around the necropolis.
