Maybe stoning would be more quid pro quo. Let the wall speak.

oh wow – I was there literally the day before. That was one of the more impressive (to my untrained, ignorant eyes) houses that we entered.

It has got to be a real challenge managing the huge number of visitors to the site (even if most of them are going to be respectful), especially since the vast majority is just open (most of the more ‘significant’ buildings like this one had a guard watching over them).

A one-way trip to the crater atop Mt. Vesuvius might be appropriate.
