You can have this one, you can have that one. And that gives them enormous urban space to move into. And there's wonderful houses like the House of the Stags and the House of Mosaic Atrium. that are built right up to the seawall can use the potential of land that has never had houses on it before. It's open land.

So they can have glorious gardens with fountains and statues coming up to the wall with the knockout view of the Bay of Naples.

So there are half a dozen real wow opportunities along those walls. And that's what gives the site the reputation as something of a resort. It's beyond a resort. However many millions people pay nowadays for the house with the sea view, they're another level above it.

But I like it when you refer to the everyday people doing their fishing as if that was a different world from the world of the rich. But one of the fascinating things about the frescoes that they put up is a favorite thing is a view, a sea view with fishermen going about their business in little boats. And here's a little man with a donkey walking along the shore and so on.

And for them, that is part of life. And that's part of beautiful life, looking out over human activity. So they will have loved that part of the view too.

And it's a correct sequel, because as you go along those wonderful houses that are like villas along the sea wall, you move straight into the Villa of the Papyri. They're is a tiny gap between the last of the great houses with a magnificent bathhouse that came out in the new excavations. Really amazing. And then there's a small gap and then the Villa of the Bari starts.

If only we'd found the walls, I would be 100% certain. And Mary Beard once said to me, Andrew, how do you know it's a villa? How do you know where the walls are? And I said, I can't prove it until we find the walls. But it seems highly probable that the walls lie between those grand houses that are villas and the Villa of the Papyri. And the Villa of the Bari just sets another standard.

It is truly amazing because impressive those houses may have been. You are into the sort of league that is only possible when you belong to the highest Roman elite. So the villa has been extremely plausibly attributed to a character called Calpurnius Pisa. In Cicero's day... Okay, yeah, yeah. There's a character he really, really, really dislikes. And he wrote a speech against Piso in Pisonem.
