House of Aristides

roman structure · 100 BC – 2099 AD

A domus at Herculaneum that earned its modern sobriquet thanks to the misidentification of a statue found in its ruins. The statue in question was thought to be Aristides, one of the ten Attic orators, when, in fact, it is a statue of Aeschines.
