VI.17.42 Pompeii. May 2006. Summer triclinium 31, ornate marble water triclinium. Water fell down the steps of the apsed fountain and then produced a jet in the pool in the centre of the couches. This then emptied into the pool in the garden below. See Jashemski, W. F., 1993. The Gardens of Pompeii, Volume II: Appendices. New York: Caratzas. (p. 166).

The cavities along the south wall were badly damaged, but symmetry suggested that they were vines, and they covered each wall. The largest cavity in the garden, apparently that of a tree or perhaps an oleander, was in the south-west rectangular bed.” See Jashemski, W.F., 2014.

See Licence and use details. J80f0586 According to Ciardiello, “An exceptional find happened in 1983 during some work in the garden. A large quantity of painted fragments belonging to a previous decoration of an upper floor room were found. Also found during this excavation, were a series of terracotta plaques with reliefs with traces of colours, decorated with gods, circles and cupids which had belonged to an architectural frieze. They had been reused in the west perimeter wall, partly as the wall covering, in part as a wall ornament in the garden and partly as a cover for the waste channel. They would have formed the decoration of a sacred building and would have shaped a frieze depicting the myth of Apollo and Marsyas.” See Aoyagi M. and Pappalardo U., 2006. Pompei (Regiones VI-VII) Insula Occidentalis. Napoli: Valtrend. (p.75-7), chapter by Rosaria Ciardiello, on The House of the Golden Bracelet. Note: 16, on p.76 says that Menotti De Lucia thought they had come from a suburban sanctary dedicated to Dionysus, whereas De Caro thought they were from the Temple of Apollo.

VI.17.42 Pompeii. April 2019. Photographed on display in Antiquarium. III Style fragment of fresco with a candelabra, at the centre of which the head of Medusa is recognisable. This fragment was found in 1983, together with numerous others, in the garden area. They were from a room damaged following the 62AD earthquake See Aoyagi M. and Pappalardo U. et al, 2006. Pompei (Regiones VI-VII) Insula Occidentalis, I. Napoli: Valtrend. (p.222 and 248). Photo courtesy of Rick Bauer. According to PPM – Many fragments were found in the garden area near to room 31, including a fragment of a predella (not photographed here but can be seen in PPM). See Carratelli, G. P., 1990-2003. Pompei: Pitture e Mosaici: Vol. VI. Roma: Istituto della enciclopedia italiana, p.144, no.186 for photograph. Kuivalainen describes this fragment (P 87280) – “Hortus conclusus with green terrain, plants, and a white statue and a beast, in the foreground of a round yellow pavilion (tholos). The statue on the pedestal is of a standing youth with his weight on his right foot. Around his waist is a long cloak, on his head a wreath, in his down-stretched right hand he holds an object, probably a cantharus, and in his left arm he holds an upright thyrsus with a bunch upwards. On his right side by his feet stands a panther with his back to the viewer, with his head lifted towards the object. Garlands hang from the conical roof of the tholos. Comments: A young almost naked Bacchus as a marble statue. Among remaining Pompeian marble statuary the youth is mainly presented naked. The position of the panther’s head indicates that the object in his master’s hand is a vessel for wine.” See Kuivalainen, I., 2021. The Portrayal of Pompeian Bacchus. Commentationes Humanarum Litterarum 140. Helsinki: Finnish Society of Sciences and Letters, (p.112, C10).
