This house, which opens on Via dell'Abbondanza, was opened to the public for the first time in 2016 after the great work of securing the entire area of ​​the Regio VIII. The house owes its name to the refined mosaic that decorates the entrance and represents a wild boar attacked by dogs. This theme, also common in other Pompeian houses, had the function of removing evil spirits from the house. The large atrium is decorated with a carpet of imperial age mosaics surrounded by a motif that depicts the city walls with its doors and towers.
On the bottom there is a large garden where an exedra has been created that reproduces on a smaller scale that of Alessandro in the Casa del Fauno.
Date of excavation: 1809, 1819, 1826, 1837.
