Regio
II
House
of Julia Felix
This house was excavated in the 18th. century and
brought completely to light in the years 1952
- 1953. There is a big and elegant garden with a portico
supported by little marble pillars.
At the center there was a summer dining-room (triclinium)
with marble beds and a fountain with a waterfall. A second entrance led
into the bathroom (balneum).
An announcement on its door states that it could be rented with part of
the house: "Julia Felix
daughter of Spurius, rents to
respectable people an elegant bathroom worthy of Venus,
a workshop with apartment on the upper floor and mezzanine from the
first of August. The lease will expire in five years". Evidently Julia,
who was of a noble and rich family, didn't hesitate to sublet part of
her house to make up for the restoration costs of the building after
the earthquake of 62 A.D. A painting
of Apollo
and the Muses is in the Louvre
in Paris today, while the other paintings are all at the National
Archeological Museum of Naples.
