The Villa of Poppaea was built during the 1st century B.C. and enlarged until its destruction in August 79 C.E. An inscription on an amphora revealed that its owner was Poppaea Sabina, second wife of emperor Nero. The villa was not occupied during the eruption, apparently having been undergoing repairs from an earthquake at the time.
