In the Chapter VI of a book by Heinrich Nissen, entitled Das Templum, 1869, we can find the author claiming the Nolan Street of Pompeii had been aligned according to the sunrise on summer solstices. Here we discuss how Nissen justified his thought. We will see in particular his point of view about the orientation according to sunrise as rebuked by Hyginus. In the discussion, we will also mention the observations made by Ferdinando Castagnoli on Nissen's Das Templum and by Stefano De Caro on the orientation of the Nolan Street.

Abstract

In the Chapter VI of a book by Heinrich Nissen, entitled Das Templum, 1869, we can find the author claiming the Nolan Street of Pompeii had been aligned according to the sunrise on summer solstices. Here we discuss how Nissen justified his thought. We will see in particular his point of view about the orientation according to sunrise as rebuked by Hyginus. In the discussion, we will also mention the observations made by Ferdinando Castagnoli on Nissen's Das Templum and by Stefano De Caro on the orientation of the Nolan Street.
