Places to see in ( Pompei - Italy ) Casa del Poeta Tragico
The House of the Tragic Poet is a Roman house in Pompeii, Italy dating to the 2nd century BCE. The house, or villa, is famous for its elaborate mosaic floors and frescoes depicting scenes from Greek mythology. Discovered in November 1824 by the archaeologist Antonio Bonucci, the House of the Tragic Poet has interested scholars and writers for generations.
Although the size of the house itself is in no way remarkable, its interior decorations are not only numerous but of the highest quality among other frescoes and mosaics from ancient Pompeii. Because of the mismatch between the size of the house and the quality of its decoration, much has been wondered about the lives of the homeowners. Unfortunately, little is known about the family members, who were likely killed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.
Traditionally, Pompeii is geographically broken up into nine regional areas, which are then further broken up into insular areas. The House of the Tragic Poet sat in Regio VI, Insula 8, the far-western part of Pompeii. The house faced the Via di Nola, one of Pompeii's largest streets that linked the forum and the Street of the Tombs. Across the Via di Nola from the House of the Tragic Poet sat the Forum Baths of Pompeii.
Like many Roman homes of the period, the House of the Tragic Poet is divided into two primary sections. The front, south-facing portion of the house serves as a public, presentation-oriented space. Here, two large rooms with outward-opening walls serve as shops run by the homeowners, or, less likely, as servants quarters. These shops lie on either side of a narrow vestibule. At the end of this hall sits the atrium, the most decorated of the rooms within the House of the Tragic Poet. Here, a large rectangular impluvium, or sunken water basin sits beneath an open ceiling, collecting water to be used by members of the household. Near the northern end of the impluvium sits a wellhead to be used for drawing water from the basin. Still farther from the entrance sits the tablinum, a second, open common area.
From these main areas extend smaller, private rooms, marking the second section of the house. Along the western wall of the atrium lie a series of cubicula, or bedrooms. Opposite these lie an additional cubiculum, an ala (a service area for a dining room), and an oecus (a small dining area). The northern end of the tablinum opens onto a large, open peristyle, or garden courtyard. To the right of the peristyle sits the drawing room, which, in the House of the Tragic Poet, is believed to have been used as the main dining salon. Adjacent to the drawing room is a small kitchen area. Near the left side of the peristyle, a small back door opens onto an additional street. Finally, into north-western corner of the peristyle is built a small lararium, or shrine to be used in worshiping the Lares Familiares, or family gods. This shrine contained a marble statuette depicting a satyr carrying fruit.
The atrium was the focal point of art in the House of the Tragic Poet. Except for the House of the Vettii, it contained more large-scale, mythological frescoes than any other home in Pompeii. Each image was approximately four feet square, making figures slightly smaller than life-size. The images in the atrium frequently feature seated men and women in movement. The women are usually the focus of the images, undergoing important changes in their lives in famous Greek myths.

CASA DEL POETA TRAGICO (Pompeya)
Descubierta en noviembre de 1824 por el arqueólogo Antonio Bonucci, la casa del Poeta Trágico ha despertado el interés de investigadores y escritores durante generaciones. Aunque el domus no es de gran tamaño, su decoración interior es abundante y de mayor calidad que la de otros frescos y mosaicos de la antigua Pompeya. Este contraste entre las dimensiones de la casa y la importancia de su ornamentación ha hecho plantear muchas incógnitas sobre la vida de sus propietarios. Sin embargo, poco se sabe sobre los miembros de la familia, los cuales probablemente fallecieron durante la erupción del monte Vesubio en 79

Pompei - Casa del Menandro - The house of Menandro Pompeii
Pompei (Napoli) - La casa del Menandro (I 10, 4) è una grande domus urbana dell'antica Pompei di quasi 1800 m². È stata scavata negli anni 1926-1932 ed è un buon esempio di una domus di una famiglia benestante dell'antica Pompei. Prende il nome non dal proprietario della casa, ma dall'immagine del poeta greco Menandro, ritrovata lì.
Pompeii. The House of the Tragic Poet VI.8.5
The House of the Tragic Poet at Pompeii is one of the neatest and most elegant houses. It lies very close to the forum and is now accessed through a side entrance Reg. VI, Insula 8, Building 5). The main entrance to the house where the Cave Canem (dog) mosaic greeted an ancient visitor is currently closed to visitors. This dog mosaic recalls a scene in Petronius' Satyricon. This house is not prescribed content for the UK-based OCR examination board's A-level paper Cities of Roman Italy (CC6) but is of direct relevance to understanding the houses and their decoration. It is also of great interest to anyone studying Pompeii. Note the places where paintings were removed by antiquarians.

Places to see in ( Pompei - Italy ) Casa del Menandro
The Casa del Menandro is a house in Pompeii, Italy. It is located in Region I, Insula 10, Entrance 4. It covers an area of about 1,800 square metres. The house was excavated between November 1926 and June 1932.
Della Corte thought the owner could be Quintus Poppaeus Sabinus due to a seal and a graffito in the entrance corridor mentioning 'Quintus' and other graffiti in the house referring to 'Sabinus'. The house may have belonged to a local magistrate.
The nationality of the owner is more in dispute than their economic status. Pompeii’s Mediterranean climate enticed many Romans to invest in holiday villas there, so it is possible that the owner at the time of Vesuvius’ eruption in 79 AD was a wealthy tourist, not a local.
The estate is referred to as “The House of Menander” because there is a well-preserved fresco of the ancient Greek Dramatist Menander in a small room off the peristyle. Some speculate the painting is not actually of Menander but rather of the owner of the house or another person reading works by Menander. The house included other frescoes, including one depicting the death of Laocoon.
The large columns in the peristyle of the Casa del Menandro are representative of the Doric style of architecture, an offshoot of the Classical Style, which also stems from Greece. The emphasis on Greek culture in Pompeian architecture is not surprising since Greek sailors had been using the port as a trading post before the Oscans founded the city in the 6th century BC.
