"Pompeii_ Domus Vettiorum, Detail of the triclinium decoration, No. 11256" is a photograph by Giacomo Brogi, taken sometime between 1880 and 1890. The photograph depicts a detail of the triclinium decoration in the House of the Vettii in Pompeii, a Roman city that was preserved by volcanic ash from the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Brogi’s photographs are a fascinating record of ancient Roman life, offering viewers a glimpse into the details of Pompeian architecture and wall paintings. This photograph of the triclinium, a dining room, is a testament to the artistic skill and sophistication of Roman society, and it is a valuable resource for understanding the rich history of Pompeii.
