Various artefacts found in Pompeii have shed light onto the mystery of how the ancient Romans lived during the 1st century. We know many of the Romans had a higher way of living as the houses recovered from Pompeii such as the House of Vettii and the House of Faun show large floor plans and decorative architecture such as impulviums and indoor gardens. We know cities such as Pompeii had large public structures, as they have been mentioned in writings or depicted in art works, similar to what we have now such as bars, bath houses and amphitheatres, these were large in size and housed many of the cities visitors. These facilities were for any member of the public, women, men and children however excluded slaves as they were not considered citizens.
