noragaribotti:TORRE ANNUNZIATA-Oplontis-Villa of the Poppaea-This Roman villa was destroyed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D. Only half has been excavated due to lack of funds. The villa belonged to the people of Pompei and was used for health purposes-it consisted of a pool, baths, and various other activities. Skeletal remains have never been found at this archaeological site, as it was still undergoing repairs from the 62 A.D. earthquake, and was not inhabited. This is a unique site as it only consists of one single villa-a magnificent one! -- source link
