Villa of Diomedes, Ancient Roman villa in Pompei, Italy
The Villa of Diomedes extends over 3500 square meters across multiple levels, featuring a peristyle, bathrooms, gardens, and living spaces near Herculaneum Gate.
Excavated between 1771 and 1774 by Francesco La Vega, the villa contained 36 bodies, including 18 individuals found in the basement during archaeological work.
The structure reveals Roman architectural elements with Fourth Style wall paintings and includes spaces for different social functions like the tablinum and summer triclinium.
The villa contains three main sections: the ground level with residential areas, the garden level with outdoor spaces, and a cryptoporticus for storage.
Archaeological findings revealed a skeleton wearing a gold ring and carrying 1356 sesterces in coins, along with a key near the villa entrance.
