But this structure is is \u201cstriking for the high\u00a0level of wall decorations,\u201d the park noted.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ a-font-body-m     \">Those decorations include a painting of Phaedra, a Cretan princess from Greek mythology who fell in love with her stepson Hippolytus, only to accuse him of sexual assault when he rebuffed her advances. Venus and Adonis, also the subject of a tale of unrequited love, figure in another painting found here.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ a-font-body-m     \">Beyond simply providing fodder for ogling eyes, the house also offers its own excitement for experts in the form of its architectural plan. Most houses in Pompeii were built around an atrium, as was common for the time. This one is not, since it was too small to contain space for an impluvium, a basin used to collect rainwater that traditionally figures in ancient Roman courtyards. Still, archaeologists did find evidence that there was a different system for collecting rainwater, which was here directed to a well via a channel.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ a-font-body-m     \">Archaeologists also found an incense burner, a lamp, and other objects that were buried in ash by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 CE.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Source\uff1ahttps:\/\/www.artnews.com\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Age-old paintings of satyrs bedding nymphs and mythological figures fornicating have been newly unearthed at a small house at\u00a0Pompeii.
