[subtitled] A drone flight over the ancient city and and the new excavations leads us to discover the newly uncovered domus, including: the House with the Garden with its splendid triclinium frescoes and painted portico; the House of Orion with its First Style paintings and the mosaic of Orion, which is the only one of its kind; and in addition the settings of everyday life. It is an extraordinary cross-section of the daily life of the city.

House of Octavius Quartio, Pompeii | October 28, 2016 | elenwashere

[SunkenCiv]

[snip] On the rear wall of the biclinium are two frescoes, one either side of the fountain. The subjects of both frescoes - Narcissus at the Spring (pictured right) and Pyramus committing Suicide (lower right) - share a common theme: death brought on by passion. The artist who painted the pictures was a Roman, who signed ‘Lucius pinxit’, ‘Lucius painted this’. His signature, sadly, is no longer visible. [/snip]

[snip] The naming of this house was wrongly derived from electoral graffiti etched in the outer façade, some saying “Vote for Loreius” and others “Vote for Tiburtinus.” In fact, the last known owner of the house was a man named Octavius Quartio, whose bronze seal was found inside the house during excavation. Some historians choose to refer to this house as the House of Octavius Quartio. [/snip]

[snip] The owner, as evidenced by a seal, was Decimus Octavius Quartio, a member of the board of Augustans, civilians dedicated to the cult of the emperors. [/snip]
