At the far end of the Via dell'Abbondanza, visit two of the town's best the House of Loreius Tiburtinus, for its beautiful peristyle garden of fountains, water channels, and cascades, one of them with paintings of Narcissus and Pyramus and Thisbe; and the House of Julia Felix, big enough to have been perhaps a luxury hotel, with its own bathhouse and a handsome portico of slender marble columns around the peristyle.
