The center of action in Pompei, as in other Roman cities, was undoubtedly the Forum, which was a center for matters religious, governmental, and economic. There were probably some good restaurants here as well!

There are a few old religious places dotted through-out the ruins that some of the locals visit and use. Every frw days some of the locals will come to these places and pray and leave flowers or candles.

If you have used a tour guide for your visit to Pompeii it is customary to give a gratuity (tip) to them.
We have found that 5 to 10 Euros is a good tip for the full day at the site but it is up to you.

The roads in Pompeii had little drainage and so to avoid getting dirty or wet a Pompeian would cross the road using stepping stones. These stepping stones were cleverly designed - not only did they enable people to cross the road but they also allowed carts to pass as their wheels fit in between the gaps of the stepping stones. Various stepping stones can be seen in this photograph.
