This house, initially excavated between 1903 and 1905, is thought to have once belonged to Gnaeus Poppaeus Habitus. Situated on the Via del Vesuvio, it is a refined dwelling, richly decorated throughout. It was named after the glass discs etched with cupids found in a cubiculum off the peristyle.
This is but one tiny part of one page full of pictures and descriptions of the homes and neighborhoods of Pompeii. Definitely a treasure trove of info on a ruined city.
