Casa degli Epigrammi Greci, Roman mansion ruins in Pompeii, Italy.
The residence features an atrium with an impluvium, leading to a peristyle garden through a curved tablinum with frescoes of mythological themes.
Initial excavations of the house began in April 1748, with additional discoveries continuing through the late nineteenth century, revealing multiple construction phases.
The walls display Greek epigrams alongside paintings depicting various mythological scenes, including Venus, Mars, Admetus, Alcestis, and Perseus.
The residence contained advanced water management systems with a central valve controlling four separate taps for garden irrigation and household use.
Archaeologists discovered bronze strigils, gold jewelry, and silver serving ware, indicating the high social status of the former residents.
