Text Appearing Before Image:
a room of the peristyle was discovered a painting, now re-moved to the Museum, in which was depicted a writing-tablet,style, inkstand, reed, and seal, with the following words:M. Lucretio Flam. Martis Decurioni Pompei; whence it hasbeen inferred that the house belonged to one Marcus Lucretius,a Flamen of Mars and Decurio of Pompeii. A striking architectural arrangement of this dwelling is,that the peristyle is on a considerably higher level than theatrium and tablinum, so that the spectator immediately onentering is struck with a perspective view of the fountain atthe bottom of the peristyle. This house, for its size and de-corations, is among the most important in Pompeii, but its 456 POMPEII.
Text Appearing After Image:
i HOUSE OF LUCRETIUS. 457 arrangement is irregular and capricious, as will be seen fromthe annexed ground plan. The front is almost entirelyoccupied by shops, 1, 2, 3. The prothyrum 5, succeedingthe vestibule, 4, is adorned with paintings: that on the rightside representing a woman crowned with ivy and playing onthe double flute, whilst a drunken man leans on her shoulder ;whence the house has sometimes been called the Casa delleSiionatrici, or House of the Female Musicians. Opposite this
