| Sumario: | This study focuses on the delimitation of tombs in the necropolis of Vesuvio Gate in Pompeii (Italy), and in the public infrastructures located in this necropolis, such as the aqueduct that carried water to the city. This analysis is based on the study of Roman laws, as well as on the study of the termini, which are stones specifically used to delimit public and private spaces in ancient Roman urban areas. The termini can clearly be recognized not only in the tombs but also in the public buildings of the city. This study gives an insight into the system the Romans implemented to define boundaries in the suburban areas of Pompeii, and contributes to our understanding of how urban laws were applied to manage spaces within the city. |
