Street of Tombs, Pompeii, Italy

Vintage 19th century photograph - Street of Tombs, Pompeii, Italy. The Street of Tombs ran from the Herculaneum Gate on the road leading towards Herculaneum. It was forbidden to bury bodies inside the walls of Pompeii and so this street, which is outside of the city, has over thirty tombs in it. It was a busy road for travellers and so also had shops along it
