What is the difference between a Lupanar and brothel?
Brothels. The Roman word for brothel was lupanar, meaning a wolf den, and a prostitute was called a lupa ("she-wolf"). Early Pompeian excavators, guided by the strict modesty of the time period, quickly classified any building containing erotic paintings as brothels.
How many stone beds are found within the Lupanar, the ancient brothel of Pompeii?
The lupanar had ten stone beds with mattresses, each bed set in its own small room. Five of these were found on the ground floor, while the larger rooms were situated on the first floor which could be reached by an independent entrance and a wooden staircase.
Are there any famous Lupanar?
