ITINERARY.
AN ITINERARY.
In order to render my work less lengthy and less confused, as well as easier to read, I have grouped together the curiosities of Pompeii, according to their importance and their purport, in different chapters. I shall now mark out an itinerary, wherein they will be classed in the order in which they present themselves to the traveller, and I shall place after each street and each edifice the indication of the chapter in which I have described or named it in my work.
In approaching Pompeii by the usual entrance, which is the nearest to the railroad, it would be well to go directly to the Forum. See [Chap. ii].
The monuments of the Forum are as follows. I have italicized the most curious:
| The Basilica. | See [Chap. ii]. |
| The Temple of Venus. | " |
| The Curia, or Council Hall. | " |
| The Edifice, or Eumachia. | " |
| The Temple of Mercury. | " |
| The Temple of Jupiter. | " |
| The Senate Chamber. | " |
| The Pantheon. | " |
From the Forum, you will go toward the north, passing by the Arch of Triumph; visit the Temple of Fortune (see [Chap. vi].), and stop at the Thermæ (see [Chap. v].).
