IX.14.4 Pompeii. May 2005. Tetrastyle atrium B, looking south. The flooring of the atrium continued from the fauces, and was made of small marble pieces scattered through the mortar. The walls of the atrium were also of rough plaster. According to Sogliano, this proved the house that was one of the most ancient in Pompeii, was being renovated and redecorated at the time of the disaster. Without doubt, the rough plaster was destined to be painted but there was no time to begin it. The four tall Corinthian columns were at all corners of the large impluvium. The columns were 7.20m tall ( taller than the ones in the House of the Silver Wedding, at 7.12m tall). These columns gave the impression of the height and grandness of how the atrium must have looked.
