Casa del Menandro

Italy

The House of Menander (Italian: Casa del Menandro) is one of the richest and most magnificent houses in ancient Pompeii in terms of architecture, decoration and contents, and covers a large area of about 1,800 square metres (19,000 ft2) occupying most of its insula. Its quality means the owner must have been an aristocrat involved in politics, with great taste for art. The house was excavated between November 1926 and June 1932 and is located in Region I, Insula 10, Entrance 4 (I.10.4) of the city.
