Oplontis

A second villa, the Villa of L. Crassius Tertius, was discovered in 1974, 300 metres east of the Villa of Poppaea, during the construction of a school. A bronze seal bearing Crassius' name was found at the site. The name "Oplontis" most likely referred originally to the baths in the area of Campo Oncino, but today the name commonly covers the group of villas in the middle of the modern town of Torre Annunziata (Torre Nunziata in the local Neapolitan dialect). A large number of artifacts from Oplontis are preserved in the Naples National Archaeological Museum.
