All around the Meditterranean, you can find Roman ruins. Only those near the Vesuvius volcano can give you a real insight in the daily life of Romans.
Pompei is much bigger than Herculaneum. It has a forum, a basilica, several theatres and an amphiteatre were gladiators played their deadly games. The street system is still like it was 2,000 years ago: straight streets, and large stones permitting people to cross the street without stepping down the high pavement, while chariots could still pass. The layer of ashes and stones has protected this town so well that when it was excavated, kitchen utensils were found, jewelllery, arms, and people still in clothes, in the very position in which they died. It is when you see the faces of fear that make you almost feel like a disaster tourist.
