House of the Mosaic Atrium, Ancient Roman domus in Ercolano, Italy.
The House of the Mosaic Atrium extends over 1200 square meters on its lower floor and features black and white geometric patterns throughout its floors.
Excavations of this residence began in June 1929, revealing numerous artifacts including marble sundials, bronze boxes, pottery, and preserved food items.
The tablinum, designed as a miniature basilica with a central hall and two small naves, served as the owner's office space.
The structure maintains its original mosaic pavements in the entrance corridor and atrium, displaying large black and white rectangular patterns.
The garden includes a preserved wooden veranda decorated with mythological frescoes and features a colonnade on three sides with a central water basin.
