The first 4 photos are from Villa Poppaea; Wikipedia tells us:
The Villa Poppaea is an ancient Roman seaside villa (villa maritima) situated between Naples and Sorrento, in southern Italy. It is also called the Villa Oplontis or Oplontis Villa A by modern archaeologists.[1] The villa itself is a large structure situated in the ancient Roman town of Oplontis(the modern Torre Annunziata), about ten metres below modern ground level. Evidence suggests that it was owned by the Emperor Nero, and it is believed to have been used by his second wife, Poppaea Sabina, as her main residence when she was not in Rome.[2]
The rest of the photos are from Herculaneum. The famous Villa dei Papiri of which the Getty Villa is a copy is off limits to visitors.
