On the right begins a whole quarter recently discovered and not yet marked out on the diagram. Get them to show you—
The House of Siricus. [Chap. vii].
The Hanging Balconies. [Chap. iii].
The New Bakery. [Chap. iii].
Turning to the left, below the Street of Stabiæ you will cross the open fields, above the part of the city not yet cleared, as far as the Amphitheatre. See [Chap. viii].
Then, retracing your steps and intersecting the Street of Stabiæ, you enter a succession of streets, comparatively wide, which will lead you back to the Forum. You will there find, on your right, the Hot Baths of Stabiæ. See [Chap. v]. On your left is the House of Cornelius Rufus and that of Proculus, recently discovered. See [Chap. vii].
There now remains for you to cross the Street of Abundance at the southern extremity of the city. It is the quarter of the triangular Forum, and of the Theatres—the most interesting of all.
The principal monuments to be seen are—
The Temple of Isis. See [Chap. vii].
The Curia Isiaca.
The Temple of Hercules. [Chap. vii].
The Grand Theatre. [Chap. viii].
The Smaller Theatre. "
The Barracks of the Gladiators. [Chap. viii].
At the farther end of these barracks opens a small gate by which you may leave the city, after having made the tour of it in three hours, on this first excursion. On your second visit you will be able to go about without a guide.
