(a) Numbering of Buildings in Pompeii


Pompeii, like Herculaneum, has been split into separate areas for archaeological purposes. The numbering in Herculaneum is less complex because of its size, being divided simply into Insulae or blocks of buildings (numbered in Roman numerals), with individual buildings having their own entrance number. For example, the House of the Deer is labelled (Ins IV, 3).

Pompeii, however, has an additional level of numbering. It has been divided firstly into 9 regions (Regio), numbered in Roman numerals. Each of these regions contains several Insulae which are numbered 1, 2 3, etc. As with Herculaneum, each building within an insula has its own entrance number, again numbered 1, 2, 3 etc. For example, the House of Trebius Valens is labelled (Reg III, Ins 2, 1).
