House of Sallust, Roman villa in Pompeii, Italy.

The House of Sallust features an atrium with multiple surrounding rooms, including a garden, kitchen, dining area, and several bedrooms arranged in Roman style.

Dating back to the 3rd century BC, this residence incorporated commercial spaces with four shops, a tavern, and a bakery equipped with millstones and an oven.

The interior walls display first-style frescoes and decorated floors with mosaics, representing the artistic preferences of wealthy Roman homeowners during that period.

The strategic position near Porta Ercolano led to the transformation of parts of this residence into a boarding house for travelers visiting Pompeii.

After substantial damage during World War II bombing raids in 1943, the southeast section underwent extensive reconstruction to preserve its architectural elements.
