An imposing banquet hall, with elegant black walls, decorated with mythological subjects inspired by the Trojan War. The dominant theme seems to be that of heroism, for the depictions of couples of heroes and divinities.
The hall measures approximately 15 meters long by 6 meters wide and opens into a courtyard which appears to be an open-air service hallway, devoid of decoration. The excavation activity in insula 10 of Regio IX is part of a broader project to secure the perimeter front between the excavated and non-excavated area, aimed at ensuring the protection of the vast Pompeian heritage. "Pompeii is truly a treasure chest that never ceases to surprise us and arouse amazement because, every time we dig, we find something beautiful and significant," the Minister of Culture, Gennaro Sangiuliano, comments on the discovery of the hall. The excavations are designed as part of the Great Pompeii Project and carried out under the direction of Gabriel Zuchtriegel.
