I.2.17 Pompeii. March 2009. Room 7, tablinum. Looking south towards small garden at rear.

According to Peters, there were only a few insignificant remains of the Third Style decorations found here in the tablinum.

Discanno made a drawing of the central painting that was found on the right-hand wall (west side).

The drawing was of the story of Selene and Endymion and was set in a sacral-idyllic landscape.

According to Jashemski, this very small garden (excavated in 1872) was entered from the tablinum.

Much of the garden, according to Mau (she said) was occupied by two small adjacent raised pools.

Attached to the west wall was a masonry pool, the other pool was to the south.

There was a garden painting on the rear wall.
