The rooms preserve fine paintings of the Augustan period, with theatrical scenes inspired by the tradition of Greek comedy. The impluvium has an exquisite decorative scheme in coloured marble. One of its most famous furnishings is a table resting on marble supports ending in lion's paws. One of the supports bears the name of **Publius Servilius Casca Longus**, a member of the family of one of the participants in the conspiracy against Julius Caesar. The piece was probably an older object that later entered the collection of the Pompeian owner. ### Further reading [Pompeiiinpictures](http://www.pompeiiinpictures.com/pompeiiinpictures/R1/1%2006%2011.htm) Detailed images of the building ### Video ### Map ![Loading...](https://www.pompeionline.net/components/com_zhosmmap/assets/utils/loading.gif) [View this location on the Pompeii Buildings and Places map](https://www.pompeionline.net/en/buildings-and-places) '+ ' ';
