VI.9.6 Pompeii. Casa dei Dioscuri or House of Castor & Pollux

Room plan

The room numbers are those referred to on the pompeiiinpictures pages for VI.9.6. 

This plan is to help you accurately locate the rooms shown in the photographs of this very large house. 

The house pages have been divided into three parts for ease of use, the atrium area, the pseudoperistyle and east side, and the peristyle area.

If your screen is large enough (more than 853px wide) press the entrance you want on the plan to see the pictures.

If you are on a smaller screen such as a phone or tablet you can use the links below to see the pictures.

The plan also shows the link to VI.9.7 and the blocked entrance at VI.9.9.

Please be aware that the room numbers shown reflect the sequence in which we photographed the rooms and will differ from any other plans or records both published and unpublished.
