Author: Loren K. Wiseman Page Count: 5 pages Thermopolia (singular: thermopolium) were bars serving hot drinks and snacks) were common in the Roman world. This floor plan is based on the thermopolium of Asellina¸ the best-preserved bar in Pompeii¸ and a larger establishment in the villa of Julia Felix. Both were preserved when they were covered in ash by the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in AD 79¸ and provide a huge bounty of information to historians. Asellina's bar had rooms for rent and thus is also a small inn. This book describes: Asellina's Bar¸ Pompeii¸ AD 79. The bar in the villa of Julia Felix¸ Pompeii¸ AD 79. This is the eighth book in a series of deckplan and short adventure books (in PDF form) by award-winning Traveller author Loren K. Wiseman.
