[edit] Todo

1. Modify the Map of Pompeii to indicate the location of the Lupanar and include it directly in this page. (I'll do this if I have time.)

1. If possible when describing Lupanar, include anecdotes or a description of any of the more famous men who may have frequented the establishment.
   • Famous corolates with wealth and the wealthy had slaves, thus they generally skipped the brothels. JNB 22:55, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
2. Also add a mention of how it was run, or who ran it.
3. If you can find it, add the date of establishment of the brothel.
   • Did not find an owner or date of establishment JNB 19:50, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] comment for roman civ

The layout looks really good. The only really areas of possible improvement to me are expanding on the status of brothels or those who use them and more of an explanation of the paintings found (as in do they represent what happened there or is there a deity associated with this place).

• Brothels were common. Patrons were poor. Paintings like these were common in Pompeii. There was no particular deity, but there were some generic ones (safe passage, etc). I'm not entirely sure how to incorporate all of this into a short Encyclopedic article. I have linked to related articles that talk more about this. I have already included far more than, say, the French or Italian articles on this topic.JNB 19:50, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
