VI.8.5 Pompeii. March 2009. Room 6, looking south to east wall of tablinum.

Mau identified a painting, found in the tablinum, showing the delivery to Admetus of the oracle which declared that he must die unless someone should voluntarily meet death in his place. On one side sits Admetus, with his devoted queen Alcestis. Opposite them is the messenger who is reading the oracle from a roll of papyrus.

See Mau, A., 1907, translated by Kelsey F. W. Pompeii: Its Life and Art. New York: Macmillan. (p. 313-4).

According to Nappo the painting was from the east wall of the tablinum.

This is also the picture referred to by Gell in his book written only a few years after the house was excavated. He attributed it to the tablinum of the House of the Tragic Poet but described it as the image of a poet reading that gave the house its name. See Gell, W, 1837. Pompeiana. London: Lewis A. Lewis. (Ch. VIII, T. XLIV).
