(Insula 3, no. 5) This dwelling is the result of the union of two originally separate houses, as indicated by the irregular layout, with two atria set at right angles to each other and on different levels. The paintings depicting mythological scenes, which decorate the rooms facing onto the atrium, and which date to the final period of Pompeii, are of a high standard, - and some of them may now be viewed at the National Archaeological Museum of Naples.

The most characteristic feature of the house is the small garden which overlooks the atrium from above. The back of the garden features an elegant marble fountain, visible from the entrance of the dwelling, which housed a statue of Silenus from which water poured onto a stepped cascade.

Date of excavation: 1846-1845; 1851; 2002-2005.
