POMPEII MONUMENT OF THE DAY
This large building (approx. 2,700 sq.m.) was created by joining two residential complexes which covered an area nearly equal to that of the whole insula.
The house can be entered both from Via dell’Abbondanza and from Via Stabiana. It is arranged around two atria and three peristyle, and its name derives from a bronze statue of Apollo playing the lyre (today in the National Archaeological Museum in Naples).
Magnificent paintings and bronze portraits of famous personalities also found in it and are now on shown in the same museum.
As is inferred from electoral propaganda and a number of graffiti, it belonged to the Popidius family.

FORBIDDEN POMPEII: IMAGES AND NEWS
Love was a common topic of conversation in Pompeii. Feelings, passions, poetic love, sex, homosexuality, prostitution and so forth were all part of daily life and not a source of prejudice. The concept of “obscenity” seems to have been unknown. Love and sex were considered earthly practices of a man’s life that were encouraged by the benevolence of Venus. The thousands of examples of graffiti found on the town’s walls are unequivocal proof of what the people of Pompeii thought about love and sex.
