Oplontis: the most famous suburban villa Archeological Tour

The symbol of a town placed three miles away from Pompeii is marked in the Peutingerian Plate, with the name of Oplontis, a residential neighborhood of Pompeii. Because of the scarcity of information, the villa is now usually known as Poppea’s Villa. In fact the following inscription “Secundo Poppaeae” was found on amphora discovered in the latrines.

This Villa is the most meaningful example of roman suburban Villa, with well-preserved fresco cycles of the Antiquity. You will remain fascinated by the “amenities” of this incredible Villa. Perfect experience in combination with the visit of Pompeii.
