Regio IV
Via di Nola
On this road there are the House of Marcus Lucretius Fronto, an elegant abode of the first Imperial period, the big House of the Centenary, so called because it has been unearthed in the 18° centenary of the eruption, the House of the Gladiators, destined to entertain the familiæ of the gladiators during the shows in the Amphitheater. At the end of the street it raises Nola Gate, with one barrel-vault, of Samnite period, adorned with a Head of Minerva.
Nola Gate
Built in Samnite period, in Sarno’s tufa, it has a very simple shape: the passage finishes with two bastions that are connected with the bounderies that run around the city. On the side that looks toward the city it is adorned with a Head of Minerva.
