The House of Championnet is one of the most sumptuous homes of Pompeii, which covers at least four levels sloping scenically towards the sea. The house consists of a rich atrium with four columns and with multi-coloured mosaic floors and geometric decorations. A thermal system was installed in the rooms situated on the lower floors, already active in the late republican era (2nd-1st century BC). The rich wall decorations were reproduced in many designs from the late 18th century and the early 19th century.
Date of excavation: 1799; 1812; 1828.
