List of villas in Naples
The Gulf of Naples was a particular locus of the development of Roman villas from roughly 50 BCE to 200 CE, where they were built as retreats and status symbols by senators and the like. Of the many villas of this era discovered in Boscoreale, Naples, buried in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius that also buried Pompeii, one now visible is the Villa Regina. That was a "villa rustica" – a rustic villa, as distinguished from a "villa urbana", which would have been grander. The work of John D'Arms and particularly his book "Romans on the Bay of Naples" have been important in understanding the history and nature of the Roman Villa. In the Gulf of Naples, well-preserved examples include the Villa of the Papyri, Villa Poppaea, and, at Stabiae, Villa Arianna A and B and Villa San Marco.
