Herculaneum offers a more intimate glimpse into Roman life than its famous neighbor Pompeii. Despite being devastated hours later by a ferocious pyroclastic surge, it presents an astonishingly well-preserved snapshot of ancient wealth and domesticity, highlighted by intact clothing, intricate mosaics, and frescoes. With fewer crowds and a more compact layout, Herculaneum invites you to step back in time and experience the luxury and everyday moments of its inhabitants, right in the shadow of the very volcano that preserved their legacy.
