Nymphaeum


The nymphaeum was first created as an interior courtyard with an open ceiling which separated the commercial buildings from the residential buildings. The space was transformed into a nymphaeum with the insertion of niches with fountains. These are still visible at the base of the frescoed wall.
The large fresco of the second half of the third century on the walls represents a mythological scene with a sea setting. The semi-nude female figure may be Venus or Proserpina.
Case Romane (Roman Houses), Rome, Italy.
