Room 1, looking east across atrium and tablinum, pseudoperistyle and mosaic fountain in background.

 

VI.14.43 Pompeii. December 2007. Room 1, impluvium in atrium, marble table and marble covered brick base or fountain. According to Jashemski, unique so far at Pompeii, is the tiny mosaic fountain (about 0.50m high) in the atrium. It had been built on the east edge of the impluvium, facing the entrance during the last years of the city. According to Sear, the front and bottom of the inside walls were lined with marble. Above this there was a “line of shells and then a zone of mosaic, in white, yellow, and blue, and above the mosaic another line of shells”. The head of the niche was covered with pumice and marine deposits. See Jashemski, W. F., 1993. The Gardens of Pompeii, Volume II: Appendices. New York: Caratzas. (p.152)
