Regio
IX
House
of Gaius Julius Polybius
The House of Gauis Julius
Polybius has two atria. The first is completely covered,
while the second has a compluvium and no columns (tuscanico).
Particularly elegant is the decoration of the black
hall at the end of the garden which portrays Dirce's
punishment. The house was being restored because of the
damages caused by the earthquake. This
explains the presence of a quantity of lime in the first atrium.
One of the rooms was used to keep a collection of bronzes, among which
a statue of the Ephebe lamp-holder (lampadophoros)
similar to the Apollo of Piombino
and a laconic crater bearing a Greek inscription on its edge.
