ANGIPORTUS or ANGIPORTUM (στενωπός). A narrow or back street, whether in the nature of a court which had no thoroughfare (Terent. Adelph. iv. 2. 40.), and which was then properly termed fundula; or merely a small back street leading from any of the principal parts of the city. (Hor. Carm. i. 25. 10. Plaut. Pseud. iv. 2. 6.) These back streets in Pompeii are so narrow that a person can step across them from kirb stone to kirb stone at one stride.
