Lararium fresco in atrium of ancient tavern, Via dell Abbondanza, Pompeii, Italy.\nIt consists of a lararium dedicated to the protectors of the household ( Lari ), the Genius protector of the owner, as well as the god of trade ( Mercury ) and the god of wine ( Dionysus ). The house is at the rear, interconnected with the shop, decorated with precious frescoes and a triclinium for outdoor dining.\n\nThe thermopolium of Vetutius Placidus opens on via dell’Abbondanza and represents social mobility in Pompeii in Roman times, where merchants and craftsmen also held a high social status, reserved only to landowners in older times. Drinks and hot food were served in this place, as the name indicates, stored in large jars placed in the richly decorated masonry counter of the tavern.
It is named after the hall of mysteries located in the residential part of the building, which faces the sea. A large continuous fresco that covers three walls, one of the most preserved ancient paintings, depicts a mysterious rite, that is reserved for the devotees of the cult. The scene is linked with Dionysus, who appears on the central wall with his wife, Ariadne.\nFemale figures as well as fauns, maenads and winged figures are seen on the side walls, engaged in various ritual activities. Besides Dionysian ecstasy expressed in dancing and drinking wine, one sees the ritual flagellation of a young girl resting on the lap of a seated woman (bottom right). The other rooms also preserve wonderful examples of second style wall decoration, that is with depictions of architecture. Egyptian inspired miniature paintings are seen in the tablinum.\nThe villa also includes an area intended for the production of wine with a rebuilt wooden press. The complex dates back to the 2nd century BC but was given its current shape in 80-70 BC, which is the same period of the frieze of the mysteries.
Building columns holding up a roof over a portico that still carry the original color they were painted prior to the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD that buried the town in lava.
