Wow! We were just there last Wednesday!
I thought it was strange that they were so open to the public and unprotected.
I'm glad we got to see them. We were very disappointed that the church of the Capuchin monks in Rome was closed (the one with all the bones).

One of the limited access sites at Pompeii is the Suburban Baths.
It has exotic frescoes in it's changing room (above the clothes lockers).
What sets this site apart from others is that one of the frescoes depicts a lesbian scene. And it's the only lesbian sexual fresco that has been discovered from ancient Roman times.
There are 3 limited access sites at Pompeii. As you enter the site go to the Info Booth on the left just before the ticket windows. If the sites are open on that day and they still have the free tickets you're in luck .
These frescos were most likely just decorative art and not an advertisement of services like in the Lupanare as widely believed (no brothel with it's cell-like rooms was found at the site). Regards, Walter
