House of the Prince of Naples, Roman residence in Pompeii, Italy.

The House of the Prince of Naples contains multiple rooms arranged around a central atrium with a marble table supported by lion-shaped legs near the impluvium.

The residence underwent modifications during the late 2nd century BC when Region VI of Pompeii experienced an increase in urban commercial establishments.

The walls display life-size paintings of Bacchus and Venus in the exedra, while the triclinium floor features colored marble inlays representing Roman craftsmanship.

The archaeological site stands within Pompeii Regio VI Insula 15, accessible through the main Pompeii excavation area near Naples.

Excavations in 1896 revealed a skeleton believed to belong to a looter who became trapped during the volcanic eruption of 79 AD.
