<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A new house similar to the Villa of Mysteries<\/a> was recently discovered in Pompeii.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

100 years <\/strong>after the discovery of the suburban Villa of the Mysteries. A new hall, this time located in Regio IX Insula 10, <\/strong>has unearthed a megalograph similar to the fresco of the famous Villa of the Mysteries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two houses are united not only by the actual size of the wonderful paintings, but also by their significance. Indeed, here, too, the rite of initiation into the cult of Dionysus is celebrated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The house, referred to by archaeologists as the House of Thiasos<\/strong>. In reference to the procession of Dionysus, had already recently brought to light another exciting and great discovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A very large private thermal quarter,<\/strong> inside the domus, could accommodate up to 30 people and served as a stage for sumptuous banquets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The direct connection between these thermal spaces and the large convivial hall, in fact, was probably used by the owner of the house to hold luxurious receptions. Or to secure the electoral approval of his guests or to promote the candidacy of friends or relatives. Or simply to assert his social status, as was the custom of the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A rich, imposing domus that excited again a few weeks after the last discovery in the thermal quarter with the discovery of this new room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A banquet hall open to a garden and paved with a large black tile frame and with African yellow and green breccia tiles inside, of which only two remain. Unfortunately, the house was plundered in ancient times. Grave robbers by means of burrows dug in the walls, which are still visible today, have stolen most of the floor pieces leaving only a few specimens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
