Pollio's or Pausilypon Villa.

As his own hide away place, Publius Vedius Pollio chose a wide stretch of land that sheer drops on to the sea, on the Posillipo Hill. Just as famous a Lucullus' Villa at Pizzofalcone, Pollio's residence is among the first examples of the otium villa [a villa for leisure purposes only], organized in different units: residential quarters, guest and service rooms, thermal installations, gardens and nymphaeums, arranged here and there among the terracing created to compensate for the soil slope. Having become State owned, the Pausilypon complex was further enlarged and fit to serve as the Imperial villa that included premises for entertainment shows; an open air theater which, in addition to having a 2,000 people holding capacity, was built by taking advantage of the hill's natural slope; as well as a covered concert hall, gymnasiums, a number of premises on the sea shore, and a small temple.
