Great thread about an amazing site on the Via Appia called Tres Tabernae. Important site but not widely known about/visited. 😃😃

This fab black and white mosaic is at the entrance to the House of Marcus Caesius Blandus. I love how its marine theme - with its dolphins, hippocampus, trident and rudder- and the crenellated city wall at the top, hint at life in #Pompeii overlooking the Bay of Naples 😍 #archaeology #MosaicMonday

Here are the remains of a lockable strongbox (arca) in The House of the Vettii #Pompeii. Found in the front reception room (atrium), it stored money and valuables - displaying the owner’s wealth and power to visitors. #FindsFriday #Archaeology
