Plate LXV - Court of the piscina
Plate LXV represents the central court of the
Dioscuri, which may be termed the court of the
piscina. The spectator stands in the exedra ; and
the opening of that apartment being so large, with the
piscina so near as to subtend a large angle, the open
sky and the reflection from the water must have
rendered it one of the most cheerful rooms at
Pompeii. |
