House of Menander - Casa Del Menandro, Scavi di Pompei - family home of Poppaea Sabina
Let me show you around Casa Del Menandro/ House of Menander, a 2000 year old well preserved Roman villa which lay buried under volcanic ash for many centuries.
Historians believe that this was the family home of Poppaea Sabina who was Emperor Nero's second wife.
Following the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79, the town of Pompeii was buried under many feet of volcanic ash. The ash preserved Pompeii and the Casa Del Menandro for 1700 years until the first excavations (Scavi) began.
Inside the columns stand and the frescoes remain on the walls of the house, giving the visitor a clear indication of how the citizens of the ancient Roman Empire had once lived.
It's apparent that the occupants of this house had a better quality of life during those Biblical times than some of the people living on the planet today!!

Places to see in ( Pompei - Italy ) Casa del Menandro
The Casa del Menandro is a house in Pompeii, Italy. It is located in Region I, Insula 10, Entrance 4. It covers an area of about 1,800 square metres. The house was excavated between November 1926 and June 1932.
Della Corte thought the owner could be Quintus Poppaeus Sabinus due to a seal and a graffito in the entrance corridor mentioning 'Quintus' and other graffiti in the house referring to 'Sabinus'. The house may have belonged to a local magistrate.
The nationality of the owner is more in dispute than their economic status. Pompeii’s Mediterranean climate enticed many Romans to invest in holiday villas there, so it is possible that the owner at the time of Vesuvius’ eruption in 79 AD was a wealthy tourist, not a local.
The estate is referred to as “The House of Menander” because there is a well-preserved fresco of the ancient Greek Dramatist Menander in a small room off the peristyle. Some speculate the painting is not actually of Menander but rather of the owner of the house or another person reading works by Menander. The house included other frescoes, including one depicting the death of Laocoon.
The large columns in the peristyle of the Casa del Menandro are representative of the Doric style of architecture, an offshoot of the Classical Style, which also stems from Greece. The emphasis on Greek culture in Pompeian architecture is not surprising since Greek sailors had been using the port as a trading post before the Oscans founded the city in the 6th century BC.

House of the Menander at Pompeii (I.10.4) with the Service Quarters
This is another walk-round the House of the Menander at Pompeii, this time starting in the extreme south-west in what are called the farm buildings alongside the slave quarters. Here equipment was stored for farming land outside the city walls. These rooms are not decorated and were accessed via an L-shaped corridor that ran behind the house's tricinlium. A side entrance to the house led to this corridor via a hall and led up to the peristyle. You can see how this enabled slaves to carry food and drink to the house's owners and how it must have felt walking up the narrow corridor to the grand painted rooms that surrounded the peristyle and atrium. The House of the Menander has been expensively restored but is rarely open to the public. This film was shot in October 2010 on one of those rare occasions. Note the evidence of heavy rain - a few days later the House of the Gladiators collapsed from the downpours and made international news. This film is of interest to anyone studying Pompeii, especially OCR's CC6 City Life in Roman Italy paper for AS-level Classical Civilization.

Pompeii. House of the Menander I.10.4
The House of the Menander at Pompeii is so-called because of a painting of the Greek playwright. The house lies close to the theatre in central southern Pompeii and is one of the town's biggest though you would never guess from the outside. It is built round key visual axes, one of which is the view from the fauces entrance passageway right through the house and across the peristyle. The house was modified and enlarged over a long period of time and has been the subject of a recent massive programme of analysis and restoration. Despite this, it is still not open to the public and has to be accessed through a special permit from the Soprintendenza. The house is part of the prescribed content for the UK-based OCR examination board's A-level paper in Classical Civilisation called Cities of Roman Italy (CC6). A huge silver treasure hoard was found here by excavators, and this is now in Naples Museum. Circumstantial evidence has linked the house to the family of Nero's wife Poppaea but this is uncertain. However, there can be no question that the house was owned at the very least by one of Pompeii's most prominent citizens, either a man of the decurial class or an extremely wealthy freedman.
Pompeya - La casa de Menandro -
La Casa de Menandro es una residencia romana ubicada en Pompeya, Italia. Es un buen ejemplo de domus de una familia acomodada de la antigua Pompeya. La vivienda debe su nombre al fresco que representa al comediógrafo griego Menandro que fue muy apreciado por los romanos más cultivados y no por el nombre del propietario de la casa.. Fue encontrado en muy buen estado en el interior de uno de los nichos situados en el muro posterior del peristilo. Las distintas estancias están adornadas con frescos en muy buen estado y mosaicos realizados con pequeñas teselas. . Es una de las domus mejor conservadas de Pompeya y una de las más fotografiadas. Según los historiadores todo empezó el 24 de Agosto del año 79 de nuestra era, hacia la una de la tarde cuando empezó la erupción del Vesubio. Los restos de esta mansión no salieron a la luz hasta la década de 1920 de la mano del arqueólogo italiano Amedeo Maiuri, quien descubrió no solo a sus ocupantes sino también un verdadero tesoro de plata que hasta la fecha continúa siendo un misterio
La parte más antigua de la casa fue construida en el año 250 a. C. y era relativamente modesta. Se componía de un atrio, alrededor del cual se situaban diversos espacios.
Un siglo más tarde, la domus fue renovada, construyéndose un peristilo. En la parte este se ubicó la zona privada de la casa, mientras que en el oeste se situaron las termas. Durante la excavación se hallaron ánforas rellenas de estuco y un horno provisional, lo cual podría indicar que poco antes de la erupción se habrían realizado diversos trabajos de acondicionamiento en varios lugares de la vivienda. El atrio toscano tenía un techo sujetado por vigas de madera que se ha conservado intacto.
A finales de 2015 se han abierto al público, otras seis casas restauradas.
Visita en Abril de 2015.
Menandro's House is a Roman residence located in Pompeii, Italy. It is a good example of the domus of a wealthy family from ancient Pompeii. The house owes its name to the fresco depicting the Greek comediographer Menander which was highly prized by the more cultivated Romans and not by the name of the owner of the house. It was found in very good condition inside one of the niches located in The posterior wall of the peristyle. The different rooms are adorned with frescoes in very good condition and mosaics made with small tiles. . It is one of the best preserved domes of Pompeii and one of the most photographed. According to historians, everything began on August 24, 79 AD, about one o'clock in the afternoon when Vesuvius erupted. The remains of this mansion did not come to light until the 1920s by the Italian archaeologist Amadeo Maiuri, who discovered not only its occupants but also a true silver treasure that to this day remains a mystery
The oldest part of the house was built in 250 BC. C. and was relatively modest. It consisted of an atrium, around which were located various spaces.
A century later, the domus was renovated, building a peristyle. In the east the private zone of the house was located, whereas in the west the spa was located. During the excavation, amphorae filled with stucco and a temporary furnace were found, which could indicate that shortly before the eruption there would have been several conditioning work in several places of the house. The Tuscan atrium had a roof secured by wooden beams that has been preserved intact.
At the end of 2015 another six restored houses have been opened to the public.
Visit in April 2015.

Silver Treasure from the House of the Menander, Pompeii. AD79
This silver treasure hoard was found in a cellar at the House of the Menander (I.10.4) at Pompeii. The house was being renovated at the time of the eruption and this explains why it was in store and wasn't recovered by looters or scavengers after the event. It's a good example of prestige silverware which the Romans highly esteemed (more so than gold), with silversmiths using their styles as their individual trademarks. Now on display in Naples Archaeological Museum.

Pompeii, South Italy Part 2
If you haven’t seen the first part, check the link in the description below. In this series, I am taking you through UNESCO world heritage site Pompeii.
Today, we will first visit the House of Menander and then small theatre.
This is a house of one of the richest persons in Pompeii at the time of Vesuvius eruption. There are numerous Greek style frescos all over the house. The house itself is large with some office area, private area and large garden also.
This is central atrium at the entrance. It is surrounded by a number of rooms and each room is decorated and painted. See this bright red colored room. At the corner on right is a marble temple called Lararium.
In the centre is a rainwater collecting tank.
These walls are also decorated in yellow and red frescos.
This room had a green theme. This room is again decorated in the yellow base and red panels on it.
This is a bath of the house. Check the black and white mosaic floor with some floral and animal patterns.
This is like an inner courtyard, surrounded by a portico on all 4 sides and lined by total 23 columns. These columns were purposely put here to show off an importance of the owner to the common man.
All these walls were also beautifully decorated with red, white, black and yellow frescos.
If you want to know more details about this house or other properties in Pompeii, check the links below in the description.
Lets now visit the small theater. But before that, do not forget to subscribe to varshastravel360.
Piccolo means small. This is small theatre and there is one more grand theatre besides this one. The piccolo theatre has a capacity of about 1000 audiences. The steps were covered with marble sheets. This theatre was mainly used for theatrical plays and music shows.

Surgeon's House
The 'Domus Del Chirurgo' contains a doctor's surgery, perfectly preserved rather like the remains at Pompeii and thus, gained international recognition. It contained the most complete collection of surgical instruments including those used for amputation and dental fillings ever found.
Third Style Paintings in the House of M Lucretius Fronto Pompeii
Region V, Insula IV, no. 11 at Pompeii is the House of Marcus Lucretius Fronto. Totally missed by 99% of visitors it lies up a side road off he main road that leads to the Porta di Nola, and isn't even mentioned in the current edition of the guidebook. But for experts it is well-known because of its major series of Third Style (Claudian) paintings in and around the atrium. It isn't open to the public but I was filming it through the iron gate when a custodian came up and let us in - this is quite common in Pompeii and all you need to do is slip him 5€ or 10€. Of course you could try and get a permit, but that is the most ludicrously complex procedure and doesn't guarantee you'll get in when you arranged to anyway. So here it is, courtesy of my Flip Video camera, visted on 27 October 2011 which at a rough guess was my 20th visit to Pompeii and the fourth this year alone - for all that, this was the first time I ever got into this house. The garden also has a series of paintings depicting a hunt and if I have time I'll upload that too.

Pompeii Under Clouds
In 79 AD, at about noon time, the volcano Mount Vesuvio began erupting, and pumice stones fell down over the ancient Roman city Pompeii. Roofs collapsed and people were stricken to death.
Further eruptions covered Pompeii with masses of ashes. After the Vesuvio began calming down about eighteen hours later, all citizens of the town, who did not decide to flee in time were suffocated or were slew by the pumic stones falling down during the eruption.
In 1748, excavations started and continued until today. Parts of destroyed buildings were restored or even reconstructed.
But still walking through these famous ruins, a town without roofs, is like a trip into an ancient world, partly still left under conditions of about 2000 years ago.
In the early winter time, end of November 2013, the weather around the Gulf of Naples was variable and unstable, rain and sun alternated at mild temperatures. Cloud movements and intense light created an impressive atmosphere.
On the day, upon which the most footage was taken (26 November 2013), it was sunny, at the same time clouded, but the Vesuvio was covered by layers of snow.
An impressive example for a typical townhouse of a wealthy family in ancient Roman times is la Casa Del Menandro (House of Menander), which is characterized by a big atrium and a later added peristyl. The last owner was Quintus Poppaeus, who decorated his house with paintings of the fourth style (beginning 40/50 AD). One drawing visible in the film depicts Ajax dragging Cassandra from Palladium before the eyes of Priam.
