Casa del Bicentenario, Roman residential building in Archaeological Park of Herculaneum, Italy.
The Casa del Bicentenario contains multiple rooms arranged around a central atrium with marble floors and detailed wall paintings.
Archaeological excavations led by Amedeo Maiuri discovered this residence in 1938, marking 200 years since the initial investigations of Herculaneum began.
The second floor features a room with a cruciform recess and nail marks, indicating potential early Christian worship practices in ancient Roman society.
Visitors can access the residence through the entrance on Decumanus Street and explore both ground floor chambers and upper-level living quarters.
Within the house, researchers found wooden tablets and papyrus documents, including records of a legal case about a girl named Justa.
