At the entrance of the House of the Vettii in Pompeii, there is a depiction of Priapus, the Greek god of fertility and abundance, holding a scale that weighs his erect phallus against a bag of coins. This seemingly provocative image symbolized the homeowners' prosperity.

Additionally, in a room near the kitchen of the house, which was likely used as quarters for enslaved household members, there are erotic paintings. An inscription on the entrance hall wall advertises the services of Eutychis, described as a Greek woman with pleasant manners, available for two copper coins. Experts now believe that this room may have functioned as a...

La casa pertenecía a Aulo Vettio Restituto y a A.V. Conviva, dos libertos, comerciantes de vino. Según nos dicen los dos anillos encontrados y los graffiti electorales. Es una de las casas más famosas de Pompeya. Estaba estructurada de forma que quedara separada la zona señorial de la de servicio. La casa en su origen era de doble atrio, fue reformada a mediados del siglo I a.e.c. A los lados del atrio hay dos cajas fuertes que custodiaban dinero y objetos de plata. A la derecha del atrio un larario que representaba los númen tutelares de la casa y una serpiente. Más adelante se halla la cocina y, en frente, una pequeña habitación con pinturas eróticas. Aquí trabajaba la prostituta Eutychis, esclava que se ofrecía por dos asnos, como cuenta un graffiti en la entrada de la casa. El atrio estaba decorado con pinturas del cuarto estilo. El jardín tenia suministro de agua corriente. El salón es famoso por sus frescos de rojo pompeyano. El oceus está decorado con pinturas del cuarto estilo, predominando los cuadros mitológicos. Pero la decoración más famosa es la de las miniaturas que representan Amorcillos y que está en el frisio de la parte inferior de las paredes. La planta superior no se conserva. A la entrada hay una imagen de Priapo, dios de la fecundidad y símbolo de la...
