The most important rooms were those on the eastern side whereas the rooms upstairs may have been the apartments of the undertaker of the gladiators. Pompeii was an ancient city located in what is now the comune of Pompei near Naples in the Campania region of Italy.

Tartini Monument - Giuseppe Tartini L`Istria. In 1892, upon the 200th anniversary of the birth of the composer, the people of Piran wanted to erect a monument to honour his memory, but due to the works being protracted, Piran had to wait until 1896 for the larger-than-life bronze statue of the virtuoso to finally be mounted on a high pedestal.

The Suburban Baths in Pompeii. The Suburban Baths, located immediately beneath the Marina Gate, are built halfway along the walls, which during the 1st century BC had lost their defensive function. Unlike the Stabian Baths and those of the Forum, the Suburban Baths were private. There are small erotic paintings in the changing room (apodyterium) that advertise the activities held in the halls of the upper floor, probably intended for prostitution, as often happened, illegally, in the baths. The other thermal areas have sumptuous decorations. A waterfall flowed in the small cold pool from a fake cave, adorned with a mosaic depicting Cupids handing over their weapons to Mars, the walls were frescoed with paintings that reproduced naval battles and marine wildlife. Besides the normal sequence of rooms that range from the more moderate to the hottest, the section of the heated rooms also includes a large pool that is heated by means of a large bronze brazier, placed at the bottom.
