The House
Rooms r, q, s, u, and t

Room r
This room is in the most northwestern corner of the house. It has a large entranceway that opens out onto the courtyard (room m). Inside of the room, a variety of assorted remains have been found including pieces of bronze and marble statues. Due to the assortment of artifacts discovered in the area it is possible that the room might have become a storage area for items in need of repair. As is the case in another Pompeian house, Casa degli Amorini Dorati, pieces of statues were found in a room off the garden indicating the room had become a place to store broken statues that were once in the garden or elsewhere in the house.



Room q
The room is located off of the courtyard to the north, with an exit on its southern side. There is an entrance to room r in the southwestern corner. Of the ornamentation, most is in black and red with following the Forth Style . A variety of figures adorn the walls, painted on plaster, including cupids. The side panels also featured heroic figures such as Poseidon Apollo and Daphne. In general the room is decorated by red panels separated by black columns. Above the panels which featured wall paintings were varieties of architectural elements against a white wall. Amongst these included comic figures of writers. Towards the middle of the wall is a thick black stripe featuring satyr and bacchante on one wall and Amazons on another. On a strip below the panels there are many cupids and psyches depicted carrying out daily activities. Some are also participating in common leisure activities. Quite fascinating is the series of scenes where cupids were going about the process of making oil. The central panels have been noted to be missing but Mau notes that another panel from the northern wall had been repaired by using iron brackets, similar to what had been done in another room. Mau considered this as an indication that the panels were incredibly important as they received such special attention. Mau suggests that the room could have been used for dining or as a sitting room.

Room s
This room was a small garden to the north of the courtyard. It opened to the courtyard on its southern wall as well as rooms u and t on its eastern wall. Fourth Style decoration was sued on the northern and eastern walls, featuring plants.

Room u
Room u, which Mau interpreted as a cubiculum was to the east of room s and to the north of room u. It opened to room s on its western wall and with a doorway to room t on its southern wall. Fourth Style was again used in decorating walls though making use of reds and yellows, surrounded by borders and cupids.

Room t
While located north of the courtyard, room t did not have a southern exit. The room was open to room s on its western side, and to room u through a door on its northern side. The room was decorated in Fourth Style with panels. The central panel features Heracles and Auge, and Achilles and Skyros. Mau estimates that the room was a triclinium.
