Shopping in Pompeii


Shops in Pompeii-
The shops were mostly the same size, about the size of a small garage. Many shops once had a second story where the owners lived. In larger villas, there were cisterns to collect rain until a 90 mile aquaduct from the Apiennes Mountains was built and supplied water to 80 villages Including Pompeii. Water was distributed into private homes of the rich through lead pipes which are still visible.
