Lararium Pompeii

Product description

A highly detailed relief of a lararium (house altar) excavated in Pompeii at the house of the Vetti. The relief measures 30 x 28 cm and comes with a hook for wall mounting.

The Romans painted not only miniature lararia on their walls, but also house altars in the most radiant colors. This lararium is a replica of an original fresco excavated in Pompeii. Paint it yourself in any colors you like — just as the original was polychrome.

The house of the Vetti is the most famous luxurious residence of Pompeii. It is named after its owner, Aulus Vettius Conviva, a freed slave who built a luxurious and successful life in the city of Pompeii.
