Thus you arrive at the _Walls_ and at the Gate of Herculaneum, beyond
which the _Street of the Tombs_ opens and the suburbs develop. All this
is described in Chap. IV.
Here are the monuments in the Street of the Tombs:

The Round Tomb. "
The Tomb with the Marble Door. "

_The Tomb of Nevoleia Tyché_. "
_The Funereal Triclinium_. "
The Tomb of Labeo. "
The Tombs of the Arria Family. "
_The Villa of Diomed_. "
Having visited these tombs, re-enter the city by the Herculaneum Gate,
and, returning over part of the way already taken, find the Street of
Fortune again, and there see--
_The House of the Faun_. Chap. VII.
The House with the Black Wall.
The House with the Figured Capitals.
The House of the Grand Duke.
The House of Ariadne.
_The House of the Hunt_. Chap. VII.
You thus reach the place where the Street of Stabiæ turns to the right,
descending toward the southern part of the city. Before taking this
street, you will do well to follow the one in which you already are to
where it ends at the _Nola Gate_, which is worth seeing. See Chap. IV.
The Street of Stabiæ marks the limit reached by the excavations. To the
left, in going down, you will find the handsome _House of Lucretius_.
See Chap. VII.
On the right begins a whole quarter recently discovered and not yet
marked out on the diagram. Get them to show you--
_The House of Siricus_. Chap. VII.
_The Hanging Balconies_. Chap. III.
The New Bakery. Chap. III.
Turning to the left, below the Street of Stabiæ you will cross the open
fields, above the part of the city not yet cleared, as far as the
_Amphitheatre_. See Chap. VIII.
Then, retracing your steps and intersecting the Street of Stabiæ, you
enter a succession of streets, comparatively wide, which will lead you
back to the Forum. You will there find, on your right, the _Hot Baths
of Stabiæ_. See chap. V. On your left is the _House of Cornelius Rufus_
and that of _Proculus_, recently discovered. See Chap. VII.
