Hi,<BR><BR>There is a book I got at the library, but it is out of print. I believe the author is Dietz. Your libray can certainly request it for you, it is definately worth reading. It has a map of the excavations. I enlarged it and read the book to map out all the major houses. This made the visit much more understandable for me. One word of warning is that several years (8-10) before the events of 69AD there was a rather large earthquake in Herculaneum. As a result some large houses were partially destroyed and as they were rebuilt they were subdivided into several smaller units. So it is sometime a little difficult to find the exact house walls. I found it was very much worth my time to read and map out the area before my visit. it made the history so much more alive. Good Luck and have a wonderful visit.
