Herculaneum - Oplonti Tour 2019

Oplontis (sometimes referred to as Oplonti) was a suburban area of nearby Pompeii, corresponding to the current Torre Annunziata, in Campania, buried by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79. Of the ancient Oplontis there are very fragmentary news. Its name appears for the first time during the Middle Ages in the Tabula Peutingeriana. The site is indicated six miles from Herculaneum and three from Pompeii and Stabiae, and according to the directions of the map more than a real city, it would be a suburban settlement of nearby Pompeii where there were some holiday villas, several farms, saline and thermal complexes, given the wealth of water in the area: in fact on the Tabula the town is represented with the symbol usually used for the spa, thesis also attested by the remains of buildings used for this function that were found in the area of Torre Annunziata.
