Most of us are familiar with the pineapple as a symbol of hospitality. It is very frequently seen in colonial America.
The symbol of abundance and wealth in Pompeii is not the pineapple.
This symbol is seen in many places.
And this symbol can also be used to point you in the right direction.
In this case it points you to the brothel.
It's a different world view.
There is a video available on youtube about Roman sexuality.
They missed pointing out that Pompeii was a port city with a large transient population, as well as a large slave population.
