The House of Menander (Italian: Casa del Menandro)[1] is one of the richest and most magnificent houses in ancient Pompeii in terms of architecture, decoration and contents, and covers a large area of about 1,800 square metres (19,000 sq ft) occupying most of its insula.[2] Its quality means the owner must have been an aristocrat involved in politics, with great taste for art.
The house was excavated between November 1926 and June 1932[3] and is located in Region I, Insula 10, Entrance 4 (I.10.4) of the city.
