The Temple or Sanctuary of Apollo is one of the oldest buildings in Pompeii, probably constructed under the influence of populations of Greek or Etruscan origin who settled here before the Romans.
Before the earthquake in 62 AD, Pompeii was a city flush with water, with at least 40 public fountains distributed roughly every 80 meters, several public and private spa sites, and numerous domus and businesses served by running water from the Serino Aqueduct.
You should know that the Romans had absorbed from Greek culture a great passion for theatre, especially for two genres: tragedy and comedy. For this reason, a large semi-circular structure was built in Pompeii as early as the second century BC, now identified as the Grand Theatre, which was enlarged and modified over the following centuries until it could hold as many as 5,000 people.
The House of Menander is one of the best preserved and largest domus in Pompeii, with almost 1,800 square meters of floor space. Scholars believe that its owner, Quintus Poppaeus Sabinus, was related to Emperor Nero's second wife, Poppaea Sabina, and that he also owned the domus in Pompeii now known as the House of the Golden Cupids.

Dear User, we are sorry for your review. We do think you have addressed this to us as an error because we do sell audioguide app of Pompei and in the voucher you receive from Viator is clearly written you don't have to get audio equipment, you have to use your smartphone with our TravelMate audio app. You will be free to visit the site and to follow the map and the storytelling. It's not our fault if you have lived a bad experience with your purchase. So please, we kindly ask you to update your review. Best regards.
