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 Decurwni 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:
HOUSE OP LUCRETIUS. 457 arrangement is irregular and capricious, as will be seen fromthe annexed ground plan. The front is almost entirely-occupied 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 delleSuonatrici, or House of the Female Musicians. Opposite this
