The Ultimate Guide to Visiting Pompeii (Updated 2025)

"The largest private residence in Pompeii, named for a faun statue in the front courtyard and built in the 2nd century BCE, the House of the Faun has a vast rear courtyard and an exquisite, detailed mosaic of a battle scene — one of the most complete surviving examples of an elite Roman home, even better preserved than many similar sites in Rome." - Matthew Kepnes
