<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The other rooms of the house were also characterised by the presence of coloured marble floors, black and white mosaic and numerous paintings depicting mythological scenes, cupids and animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From the atrium and tablinum, a corridor led to the peristyle, which was colonnaded on two sides and had a garden in the centre. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The latter has a special feature: during an excavation in the 1930s, the organic remains of some rose plants were unearthed. And as proof of this, roses have now been planted in the garden of the bicentennial house. <\/p>\n\n\n\nFindings house of the Bicentennial Herculaneum<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A staircase led from the peristyle to the upper floor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here were found: tablets were found, approximately 700 in number, some still with traces of writing on them, small wooden boards also used for writing and papyri. In one room two grooves in the plaster were discovered, placed horizontally and vertically, as if to form a cross. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to Amedeo Maiuri, they represented a way of bringing the Roman people closer to the Christian religion. In fact, the latter believed they represented the base of a Christian cross, later it was discovered that they were actually supports for a shelf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Bicentennial House, undergoing renovation and redevelopment, was reopened to the public on 24 October 2019 after 30 years of closure<\/p>\n\n\n\n\nBicentennial House of Herculaneum · See Pompeii<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The house of the Bicentennial of Herculaneum found exactly 200 years after the beginning of the first excavation in 1738.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/seepompeii.com\/en\/luoghi\/bicentennial-house-of-herculaneum\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Bicentennial House of Herculaneum · See Pompeii\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The house of the Bicentennial of Herculaneum found exactly 200 years after the beginning of the first excavation in 1738.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/seepompeii.com\/en\/luoghi\/bicentennial-house-of-herculaneum\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"See Pompeii\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-08-03T06:43:30+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/seepompeii.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/CASA-DEL-BICENTENARIO-4-1024x768.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1024\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"768\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"4 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/seepompeii.com\\\/en\\\/luoghi\\\/bicentennial-house-of-herculaneum\\\/\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/seepompeii.com\\\/en\\\/luoghi\\\/bicentennial-house-of-herculaneum\\\/\",\"name\":\"Bicentennial House of Herculaneum · See Pompeii\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/seepompeii.com\\\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/seepompeii.com\\\/en\\\/luoghi\\\/bicentennial-house-of-herculaneum\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/seepompeii.com\\\/en\\\/luoghi\\\/bicentennial-house-of-herculaneum\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/seepompeii.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2022\\\/05\\\/CASA-DEL-BICENTENARIO-4.jpg\",\"datePublished\":\"2022-05-25T08:30:11+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2023-08-03T06:43:30+00:00\",\"description\":\"The house of the Bicentennial of Herculaneum found exactly 200 years after the beginning of the first excavation in 1738.\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/seepompeii.com\\\/en\\\/luoghi\\\/bicentennial-house-of-herculaneum\\\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/seepompeii.com\\\/en\\\/luoghi\\\/bicentennial-house-of-herculaneum\\\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/seepompeii.com\\\/en\\\/luoghi\\\/bicentennial-house-of-herculaneum\\\/#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/seepompeii.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2022\\\/05\\\/CASA-DEL-BICENTENARIO-4.jpg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/seepompeii.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2022\\\/05\\\/CASA-DEL-BICENTENARIO-4.jpg\",\"width\":2000,\"height\":1500,\"caption\":\"ERCOLANO, ITALY - FEBRUARY 14, 2022: House of the Bicentenary, one of Herculaneum's most noble Roman homes.
