"The whole gulf is quilted by cities, buildings, plantations, so united to each other, that they seem to be a single metropolis." It was one of the luxury villas built along the entire coast of the Gulf of Naples in the Roman period, such that Strabo wrote:
Parts of the villa lying under modern structures remain unexcavated. Many artifacts from Oplontis are preserved in the Naples National Archaeological Museum. Its marble columns and capitals mark it out as being especially luxurious compared with others in this region that usually had stuccoed brick columns. It was sumptuously decorated with fine works of art. The quality of the decorations and construction suggests that it was owned by the Emperor Nero, and a pottery shard bearing the name of a freedman of Poppaea Sabina, the second wife of the emperor Nero was found at the site, which suggests the villa may have been her residence when she was away from Rome and which gives it its popular name. It was buried and preserved in the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD, like the nearby cities of Herculaneum and Pompeii, about 10 m (33 ft) below modern ground level. as it was situated in the ancient Roman town of Oplontis. It is also called the Villa Oplontis or Oplontis Villa A.
