Statue of Dancing Faun in the House of the Faun, Pompeii
The House of the Faun, situated on the north side of the Via della Fortuna, is named after the statue of a dancing faun found there. It is a fine example of the result of the fusion of the architectural models of the Italic house centered around the atrium and the Hellenistic peristyle dwelling. It occupies an entire insula and was built over an earlier 3rd century BC dwelling.
