I love these elaborate Roman mosaics. Didn’t get a chance to visit Herculaneum but got some in Pompeii and some other parts of Europe where the Romans went 😀. My entry here:

Yes. I had been to Pompeii a couple of times but never to Herculaneum so went there on this trip. It was excellent. You could wander freely around the site with few other visitors there. Some wonderful mosaics and murals.
