This house on Via Vesuvio, with its classical layout around an Atrium and a Peristyle, belonged to the banker of Pompeii, and his entire archives consisting of 154 waxed writing tablets dating between 53 and 62 A.D. were found intact. These consisted of sale contracts for land, animals or slaves and receipts for the payment of colonial taxes, as Lucius Caecilius Jucundus was also the official tax collector.
The bronze portrait - commissioned from the freedman Felix - found in the Atrium and the peristyle which was used as a sort of office for the household business. This was where the tabulae, or accounts and other documents, were kept. '>Tablinum of the house gives us a clear image of what his father looked like. In this house, researchers found two marble bas-reliefs (both subsequently stolen) depicting the Temple of Jupiter damaged during the earthquake of 62 A.D. and the expiatory sacrifice, and the Castellum Aquae with the Porta Vesuvio gate collapsing.
