The city's outer wall
Graffiti 79AD style! This is a penis and testicles- a common form of art in those days. Not a rude symbol, but a sign of fertility
Chariots used to ride up these streets, in between the Pompeiin speed humps (which were for easy pedestrian crossing) as Michael is trying to demonstrate..
Original lead water pipes! Amazingly preserved
Water tower - all worked via gravity
The patterned roof of the Baths
The preserved mould of a Pompeiin man caught mid-eruption
The Baths are perfectly intact, with wall and ceiling decorations and al
The brothel had different paintings above each door..
Lizzy demonstrating the brothel beds..
A regular street of Pompei. See how immaculately preserved it is?!
