I.2.3 Pompeii. Showing house as it was before it was bombed in 1943. According to Garcia y Garcia, this area was bombed in September 1943. The impluvium was destroyed, and the three rooms to the north of the atrium, together with the north wall separating the two houses were demolished. See Van der Poel, H. B., 1986. Corpus Topographicum Pompeianum, Part IIIA. Austin: University of Texas. (p.4). See Garcia y Garcia, L., 2006. Danni di guerra a Pompei. Rome: L’Erma di Bretschneider. (p.37-38). (Viewed from rear (east) towards the front (west)). From model in Naples Archaeological Museum. At the top, in the left hand corner is the bar at I.2.1.

1.2.3 Pompeii. September 2010. Looking north towards remains of middle part of north wall of atrium. The north wall of house at I.2.6 is visible at the rear. Photo courtesy of Drew Baker. In this area (bombed in 1943) would have been the site of the two cubicula mentioned by Fiorelli. In one of them, he said, was antique decoration under the more recent restoration. The other contained two paintings, Polyphemus and Galatea and Ariadne abandoned by Theseus. According to Fiorelli, there was a third painting which had been destroyed. Included on the walls were painted medallions enclosed in circles of wreaths of leaves, which were still visible. In one were Mars and Venus, in another Meleager and Atalanta, and in third was the head of a Bacchante. On the wall to the right was a small hollow covered internally with marble, probably to hold a lantern. See Pappalardo, U., 2001. La Descrizione di Pompei per Giuseppe Fiorelli (1875). Napoli: Massa Editore. (p.34) See Garcia y Garcia, L., 2006. Danni di guerra a Pompei. Rome: L’Erma di Bretschneider. (p.38, no.21 for photo of wall with Polyphemus and Galatea). According to Sogliano, the paintings would have been in the third cubiculum on the left of the atrium). See Sogliano, A., 1879. Le pitture murali campane scoverte negli anni 1867-79. Napoli: (p. 45, 78, 89, 97, 124)
