House of the Corinthian atrium, Ancient Roman domus in Ercolano, Italy.
The House of the Corinthian Atrium contains columns with decorative details and features a central opening in the roof called compluvium with a rainwater pool.
This Roman residence was buried and preserved during the Mount Vesuvius eruption in 79 CE, along with other structures in the ancient town of Herculaneum.
The atrium served as a central gathering space for social events, marriages, and funerals, reflecting the communal nature of Roman domestic life.
The impluvium system collected rainwater through the roof opening into underground cisterns, providing a sustainable water source for household activities.
Archaeological excavations revealed numerous artifacts and household items that demonstrate how families and servants utilized this space for daily activities.
