The city is located on the Mediterranean coast, slightly set back from the coast. It is organized within a fortified enclosure, punctuated by towers and pierced by gates. The forum stands among the houses. It comprises a vast courtyard lined with porticoes and a temple. It is flanked by the theater. The stadium and amphitheatre are built along the city wall. The city’s port lies outside the city walls, not far from the mouth of a river. Vesuvius rises in the distance, in the background.
