This index is based on the full names in a house name:  You will find the same house may have many different names or has been renamed or referred to by different names, accurately or inaccurately, over the last few centuries.  Not all houses have names.  Where there are nameplates on the houses themselves we have used these but most have no nameplate on them. 

The original Roman house names and numbers are not known.  Those in use today have evolved in a variety of ways since the site was rediscovered and excavated. Some houses or shops are named after possible owners if a named artefact such as a seal, or graffiti for example have been found there. Others are named after paintings or significant discoveries such as a surgeons instruments or architectural features.

Many of the index entries have been collected from various books on Herculaneum each of which may have discrepancies, disagreements or differences according to the view or language of the author. We have not checked these out and feel the index will be more useful with more entries in than less.  If it is important to your research you should check these out yourself.  The numbers given in the index correspond to the numbers on the doorway, on the plan and onsite.

You can use the Herculaneum Names Index button on any page to get back to this index.

An example of the entries in the Herculaneum index

The Villa dei Papiri could have entries

under V for Villa     Such as:   Villa dei Papiri   VP

under P for Papiri  Such as:   Papiri (Villa dei)  VP

VP is the house page that this name will be found on and if you click on VP you will go directly to that page.

On that page you will see the house has been known by three different names:      

- Villa dei Papiri or Villa of the Papyri (after the library of carbonised ancient papyri found here).      

- Villa Suburbane (after its separated location).      

- Villa dei Pisoni (It was perhaps owned by Julius Caesar's father-in-law, Lucius Calpurnius Piso Caesoninus).

For most locations there will not normally be entries for initials or generic terms such as "Casa" or "dei" or "House".
