House of the Vettii, Pompeii

The House of the Vettii is a domus in the Roman town of Pompeii, preserved by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.[1] It is named for its owners, two successful freedmen—Aulus Vettius Conviva, an Augustalis, and Aulus Vettius Restitutus.[1] Located in Region VI near the Vesuvian Gate, it is one of the largest domus in Pompeii, spanning the entire southern section of block 15.[1] The house features elaborate wall frescos completed after the 62 AD earthquake in the Pompeiian Fourth Style, including twelve mythological scenes across four cubiculum and one triclinium.[1] The plan follows a typical Roman domus layout, notable for the absence of a tablinum.[1] After two decades of restoration, the house reopened to tourists in January 2023.[1]
