13. Ixion Room, House of the Vettii, Pompeii
The wall paintings in the Ixion Room of the House of the Vettii in Pompeii are the best surviving example of the Roman Fourth Style, which was popular in Pompeii and elsewhere between 62 and 79. The raucous paintings are a combination of all the other Roman styles—First, Second, and Third, with their painted faux marble revetment (First Style), substantial columns and coffered ceilings rendered in linear perspective (Second Style), mythological scenes on flat panels that hang on a wall (Third Style), and the reintroduction of fragments of architecture but fragments located in illogical space (Fourth Style).
Pompeii Virtual Walk in 4K Part 4
This virtual walk begins on the Via di Mercurio. You'll soon arrive at the House of the Small Fountain(Casa dell Fontana Piccola) where you will see the recently restored garden fountain and bronze statue of a fisherman. You'll then continue to the largest and most famous house in all Pompeii, the House of the Faun (Casa del Fauno). A dancing faun was found inside the house when it was first excavated back in 1831. Inside you will see beautiful floor mosaics, two indoor gardens called peristyles, and the famous dancing faun. Moments later you will be inside another luxurious residence called the House of the Vettii, named for its owners, Aulus Vettius Conviva and Aulus Vettius Restitutus. Inside you will see several beautifully painted frescoes, an ancient safe and a unique fountain statue of Priapus, the god of fertility, marked by his over sized permanent erection. Finally you will walk down Vico dei Vettii to the Castellum Aquae, the ancient cistern that supplied Pompeii with its fresh water. The walk ends after going through the Vesuvius gate and walking around the necropolis.

Places to see in ( Pompei - Italy ) House of the Vettii
The House of the Vettii is a domus located in the Roman town, Pompeii, which was preserved by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD. The house is named for its owners, two successful freedmen: Aulus Vettius Conviva, an Augustalis, and Aulus Vettius Restitutus. Its careful excavation has preserved almost all of the wall frescos, which were completed following the earthquake of 62 AD, in the manner art historians term the Pompeiian Fourth Style.
The House of Vetti is located in region VI, near the Vesuvian Gate, bordered by the Vicolo di Mercurio and the Vicolo dei Vettii. The house is one of the largest domus in Pompeii, spanning the entire southern section of block 15. The plan is fashioned in a typical Roman domus with the exception of a tablinum, which is not included. There are twelve mythological scenes across four triclinium and one cubiculum.
The plan of the House of the Vettii is commonly divided into five major sections: the large atrium, the small atrium, the large peristyle, the small peristyle, and the shop. The house features a large garden as well as main living quarters and servant quarters.The service areas are centered around the smaller atrium while the main occupants remained around the larger atrium. There are two entrances to the main sections of the house, the main entrance is located on the east facade, entered from the Vicolo dei Vettii, and the second is entered from the Vicoli di Mercurio on the southern facade. In addition, there are five small windows on the east facade, two narrow vertical windows on the south facade, and a single small window on the west facade.
The House of the Vettii features a large assortment of fresco paintings in the Pompeian Fourth style. There are twelve surviving panels, which depict mythological scenes. We know that it is the Fourth style by its combination of the previous three styles. At the bottom of the wall we see a ring of faux colored marble, which is indicative of the First Pompeian style.
It has been determined by scholars that the House of the Vettii was owned by Aulus Vettius Conviva and Aulus Vettius Restitutus, former slaves or freedman. Scholars have come to this conclusion after finding the names on two bronze seals located in the front hall. One of the seals was engraved with 'A. Vetti Restituti' or 'of Aulus Vettius Restitutus'. On the other 'A. Vetti Convivaes [sic]' orr 'of Aulus Vettius Conviva' was carved into the seal. Additionally, a ring was found with the initials A. V. C.

Walk around in a 3D splendid house from the ancient Pompeii
By combining traditional archaeology with 3D technology, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have managed to reconstruct a house in Pompeii to its original state before the volcano eruption of Mount Vesuvius thousands of years ago. Unique video material has now been produced, showing their creation of a 3D model of an entire block of houses.
After the catastrophic earthquake in Italy in 1980, the Pompeii city curator invited the international research community to help document the ruin city, before the state of the finds from the volcano eruption in AD 79 would deteriorate even further. The Swedish Pompeii Project was therefore started at the Swedish Institute in Rome in 2000. The researcher in charge of the rescue operation was Anne-Marie Leander Touati, at the time director of the institute in Rome, now Professor of Classical Archaeology and Ancient History at Lund University.
Since 2010, the research has been managed by the Department of Archaeology and Ancient History in Lund. The project now also includes a new branch of advanced digital archaeology, with 3D models demonstrating the completed photo documentation. The city district was scanned during the field work in 2011–2012 and the first 3D models of the ruin city have now been completed. The models show what life was like for the people of Pompeii before the volcano eruption of Mount Vesuvius. The researchers have even managed to complete a detailed reconstruction of a large house, belonging to the wealthy man Caecilius Iucundus.
“By combining new technology with more traditional methods, we can describe Pompeii in greater detail and more accurately than was previously possible”, says Nicoló Dell´Unto, digital archaeologist at Lund University.
Among other things, the researchers have uncovered floor surfaces from AD 79, performed detailed studies of the building development through history, cleaned and documented three large wealthy estates, a tavern, a laundry, a bakery and several gardens. In one garden, they discovered that some of the taps to a stunning fountain were on at the time of eruption – the water was still gushing when the rain of ash and pumice fell over Pompeii.
The researchers occasionally also found completely untouched layers. In a shop were three, amazingly enough, intact windows (made out of translucent crystalline gypsum) from Ancient Rome, stacked against each other. By studying the water and sewer systems they were able to interpret the social hierarchies at the time, and see how retailers and restaurants were dependent on large wealthy families for water, and how the conditions improved towards the end, before the eruption.
An aqueduct was built in Pompeii, enabling residents to no longer having to rely on a few deep wells or the tanks of collected rainwater in large wealthy households.
The work behind the 3D film and a discussion on the credibility of the reconstructions are presented in an article, published in SCIRES Italy.
Istituto di Scienza e Tecnologie dell'Informazione and the Humanities Lab at Lund University have contributed to the development of the material and 3D work.

House of Sallust, Pompeii, Italy
The House of Sallust at Pompeii (Region VI, Insula 2, Building 4) is a house that dates back to the 3rd century BC. It retains a lot of First Style paintings and is dominated by its vast atrium. The garden was accessed through the tablinum and was a strange, narrow trapezoidal shape which filed the gap between the back of the house and the east wall of the insula. A small garden with peristyle was added to the right (south) of the entrance in the 1st century BC. One theory is that the house had, by then, been converted into a hotel and that this new garden and surrounding chambers were the owner's private quarters. The house was better preserved originally - but it was hit by Allied bombs in 1943 during WW2.

The House of the Faun was built in the 2nd century BC during the Samnite period (80 BC).There is evidence, most notably in the eastern walls of the tetrastyle atrium, that after the great earthquake in AD 62, the House of the Faun was rebuilt and/or repaired yet, the building was only used again until AD 79, ultimately rendered unusable by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius.

Finally, after a long period of closure, the House of the Vettii has reopened. It was a luxurious villa, named after its owners, two freedmen. As it's a little off the track for most guided tours, I recommend you stick around and add it to your Pompeii time--you will find it near the House of the Faun.

Fourth Style Paintings at the House of the Vettii, west triclinium, Pompeii. AD79
The House of the Vettii (VI.15.1) at Pompeii is closed to the public while it is restored. It's been closed for several years already and it won't be open for a long while yet. I managed to get in with a custodian for a few minutes recently and was able to film the two triclinia (dining rooms). This is the west triclinium. Unfortunately the atrium was inaccessible and the peristyle packed with scaffolding.

POMPEII (source Wikipedia):
Pompeii was an ancient Roman town-city near modern Naples, in the Campania region of Italy, in the territory of the comune of Pompei. Pompeii, along with Herculaneum and many villas in the surrounding area, was mostly destroyed and buried under 4 to 6 m (13 to 20 ft) of volcanic ash and pumice in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79.
Archaeologists believe that the town was founded in the 7th or 6th century BC by the Osci or Oscans. It came under the domination of Rome in the 4th century BC, and was conquered and became a Roman colony in 80 BC after it joined an unsuccessful rebellion against the Roman Republic. By the time of its destruction, 160 years later, its population was estimated at 11,000 people, and the city had a complex water system, an amphitheatre, a gymnasium, and a port.
The eruption destroyed the city, killing its inhabitants and burying it under tons of ash. Evidence for the destruction originally came from a surviving letter by Pliny the Younger, who saw the eruption from a distance and described the death of his uncle Pliny the Elder, an admiral of the Roman fleet, who tried to rescue citizens. The site was lost for about 1,500 years until its initial rediscovery in 1599 and broader rediscovery almost 150 years later by Spanish engineer Rocque Joaquin de Alcubierre in 1748. The objects that lay beneath the city have been preserved for more than a millennium because of the long lack of air and moisture. These artefacts provide an extraordinarily detailed insight into the life of a city during the Pax Romana. During the excavation, plaster was used to fill in the voids in the ash layers that once held human bodies. This allowed archaeologists to see the exact position the person was in when he or she died.
Pompeii has been a tourist destination for over 250 years. Today it has UNESCO World Heritage Site status and is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Italy, with approximately 2.5 million visitors every year.
