Thermopolium and Calida
• The thermopolium served hot food and spiced wine (calida) from earthenware jars set in the counter. Such an establishment could be a neighborhood stand specializing in two or three items, such as wine, lentils, meats, or cheese, or a more elegant setting with frescoed walls decorating the dining area.
• Patronized by those who did not have the facilities to cook at home or chose to take their afternoon meal there, the thermopolia also were the haunts of more disreputable sorts. Plautus, for example, speaks of effeminate Greeks and thieving slaves frequenting them (Curculio, II.iii.288ff; Trinummus, IV.3.1013), and Dio records that Claudius once commanded that such places be closed altogether.

Basilica of Herculaneum
• The basilica of Herculaneum was damaged or entirely destroyed in an earthquake sixteen years before the
eruption, and was rebuilt by Proconsul Marcus Nonius Balbus.
• Statues of his family adorned the halls; equestrian statues of himself and his son were mounted just beyond the portals; and a bronze quadriga, a magnificent four-hourse chariot driven by a deified emperor and adorned with images of the great heroes of Greece and Rome, rode forth from the top of the facade.

The Basilica
• The Basilica was re-discovered in 1739 when one of the tunnels being mined randomly by Cavaliere Rocco de Alcubierre broke into the building. An inscription found in the building records that the Basilica had just been rebuilt following the earthquake of 62AD thanks to the generosity of proconsul Marcus Nonius Balbus, Herculaneum's chief benefactor.The building consisted of a large rectangular hall divided into three sections by rows of columns in the traditional layout as described by Vitruvius in his Ten Books on Architecture (book V, chapter I - 'The Forum and Basilica'). At either end of the Basilica were recesses (exedra) with frescoes of mythological characters, among them Theseus and the Minotaur and The Finding of Telephus showing a naked Hercules, legendary founder of the town, recognizing his baby son. Some of the frescoes covering the walls of the Basilica were removed to the Museo Archeologico Nazionale in Naples, but unfortunately many have been lost.

• Additional to the frescoes, both bronze and
marble statuary was found. At the entrance to
the Basilica stood two equestrian statues, one
depicting the town's major benefactor, the afore-
mentioned Marcus Nonius Balbus whilst the
other was of his son.
• Inside the Basilica were further statues of the
proconsul and his family (wife, father, mother
and two daughters) as well as statues of the
emperors.

Marcus Nonius Balbus
• The large rectangular area in front of the entrance to the Suburban Baths has an altar/cenotaph at its centre, which was erected in the early Augustan period on the spot where the body of Marcus Nonius Balbus was cremated and his ashes gathered. A cuirassed statue of Balbus was placed on the marble base behind the altar by his freedman Marcus Nonius Volusianus. Marcus Nonius Balbus was a prominent figure in the Augustan period. Originally from Nuceria, but resident at Herculaneum, he was praetor (magistrate) and proconsul of the province of Crete and Cyrene, tribune of the people in 32 BC, and a supporter of Octavian

Hercules and Telephus
• Telephus or Telephanes, "he who shines from afar", was the son of Hercules and Auge, a priestess of the temple of Athena Alea at Tegea where Mary Voyatzis of Arizona excavates. He was born secretly in Arcadia, on Mount Parthénion and, as Apollodorus of Athens (2nd century B.C.) has it, was kept hidden from his mother in an enclosure sacred to Athena, where he was nursed by a doe.
• His story - on which the early Hellenistic Greek painter Apelles, also drew for inspiration - found its most famous representation in the frieze of the altar of Pergamon, the city where Telephus was adored as a hero

Travels of Telephus
• Shepherds find Telephus and give him to King Corythus. As a grown man Telephus seeks the Oracle of Delphi and asks for his parents. The oracle advises him to go to Teuthras, the king of Mysia in Asia Minor, where he finds his mother who is happily married to Teuthras. Later on Telephus succeeds Teuthras.
• Telephus is then married to one of King Priam’s daughters from Troy. Being now related to the Trojan family he opposes the disembarking of the Greeks when they enter Asia Minor. During one of these expeditions, Telephus is struck with terror devised by Dionysus and is wounded by the lance of Achilles. The wound will not heal so Telephus once again seeks the advice of the Oracle of Delphi for guidance. The oracle answers him: " He who has wounded shall also heal".
• Telephus sneaks aboard the Greek fleet that is on its way to Troy. Telephus is surprisingly made welcome as the Greeks have been told that they can only get to Troy safely if Telephus is a passenger. So Telephus is healed with the rust of Achilles' lance and the Greeks arrive safely to Troy.
