Pompeii - Houses

Immediately north of the baths is the House of Siricus (entrance from Vicolo del Lupanare); next door is a bakery. On the threshold is the inscription "Salve lucrum" ("Long live profit!"); fine paintings in the interior. Farther along the Via Stabiana, on the right, is the House of Marcus Lucretius, also with well-preserved paintings. In another 100m/110yd the Via Stabiana crosses the Via di Nola, one of the principal streets of the town, and 100m/110yd farther on again comes to an intersection at which the Vicolo delle Nozze d'Argento (on the right) leads to the House of the Silver Wedding (fine atrium and peristylium) and the Vicolo di Mercurio (on the left) leads past the House of the Vettii to the House of Sallust.
