House of Octavius Quartio
House of Octavius Quartio, Roman domus in Pompei, Italy
The house contains two water canals forming a T-shape in the garden, decorated with columns and fountains that extend over 50 meters in length.
Excavated between 1916 and 1921 by Vittorio Spinazzola, the residence belonged to Decimus Octavius Quartio, identified through a bronze seal found in one bedroom.
The dining area features frescoes depicting the mythological tales of Narcissus at the fountain and the double suicide of Pyramus and Thisbe.
The entrance from Via dell'Abbondanza leads to an atrium with multiple sleeping chambers and an impluvium surrounded by masonry flowerbeds.
The garden includes an Isis sanctuary with Egyptian-style decorations and water features that could flood the area to replicate the Nile River overflow.
