Painting of flying figure of Mercury, who crosses the threshold with a sack full of money.

According to Mileti, in light of what has been said and the value of the various objects found, it can be hypothesised that the owner of the house owed his fortune to commerce, as the image of the god Mercury depicted walking through the door with a sack of money would also testify.
