	The first "Beware of the dog" sign in ancient Pompeii - in Latin: "Cave Canum"
Yes, these were the people who were too dumb or greedy to leave Pompeii when the volcano started to below. Like rednecks in trailer parks in south Florida, when the Hurricanes come they just said "Heck, we'll jest ride it out. It won't REALLY blow that hard..."
	Note the wide belt this guy wore. It was the sign of being a slave.
The public toilets in Pompeii. That's right... you just back yer butt up over the edge... and er, let 'er rip....
	And all that sewage just flows out into the street. Which is why the big stepping stone - you sure didn't want to step into the street. Can you imagine what these cities must have smelled like on a hot summer day? This is also why wealthy Romans had summer villas in the country. Notice how the stones are spaced to allow the wagon wheel s to pass between them
This house is famous in Pompeii. It belonged to a very proud man who was a huge member of the society. Actually, he thought he had a huge member... so much so that he had his self-portrait place by the front door (see below)...
	That's right... this was the house of "Bigus Dickus"! (This painting was right on the wall next to the front door)
