Oplontis Villa Poppaea

This is a rapid walk-round the so-called VIlla Poppaea at Oplontis, Italy. It's a short walk from the Circumvesuviana station at Torre Annunziata (one stop north from Pompeii). It is believed to have belonged to the family of Poppaea, wife of Nero (AD 54-68) though the evidence is circumstantial rather than actual. The site today is celebrated for its extensive wall-paintings and has recently been expensively restored. It's certainly worth a visit but it's a tad sterile as there are no finds on display and little in the way of explanatory material.
