Nettuno and Anfitrite domus, Roman residential structure in Ercolano, Italy.
The Nettuno and Anfitrite domus features a summer dining room decorated with mosaic panels depicting Neptune and Amphitrite, alongside detailed wall paintings.
This patrician residence was preserved under volcanic materials during the Mount Vesuvius eruption of 79 AD, maintaining its original architectural elements.
The house demonstrates Roman domestic architecture with its layout including a triclinium, nymphaeum, and living quarters adorned with fourth-style Roman paintings.
Visitors can access multiple rooms across two floors, examining the preserved frescoes, mosaics, and archaeological remains within the structure.
Carbonized food remains discovered in storage vessels within the house provide direct evidence of Roman dietary practices before the volcanic catastrophe.
