English: The frescos in the peristyle of the lower level show an important example of an overlap of pictural decorations belonging to two different chronological and stylistic phases. The most ancient phase (from the middle of the 1st century AD) is represented by the painting remains visible in the south west corner of the portico both on the south facade and on the west one. Today only the upper part of the paintings is visitble because the other facades are all covered with frescos dating from a later period. Moreover many staking out holes, made before the fixing of the new coating, to better its adhesion, are visible on all the surviving facade. These paitings can be dated back to the 3rd Pompeian style (middle of the 1st century AD) and particularly to the Egyptian style, which spread after the circulation of the Egyptian cult in Campania. Architectonic structures on a white priming are represented on both south and west facades, and their colums build sections of various dimension. Inside there are figures with zoomorphic features (dogs or hawk's head), an ibis, an Api ox and some other emblems typical of the religious Egyptian tradition. This portico had in a later period (2nd century AD) a second pictoral decoration, and this is visible today over the south and east facade. We can see the unusual tripartition of the wall into socle, middle and upper zone. The socle is divided into red monochromic panels, with yellow orchre boards, which are flared at both ends. In the middle zone, where the most important decorative element is, we can find a succession of pavilions on a white priming, crowned with schematic architectonic elements. Inside there are some panels defined with red strips which contain isolated male and female figures, represented in various positions, coloured with different shades of red. The beautiful representation of a Satyr with thyrsus stands out among them. The upper zone is visible only in some areas on the south facade where some parts of architectonic structures are recognizable. The portico is characterized by this decorative schema, except the west tract of the south facade. In this case the socle, on a white priming, is decorated with three panels defined by red strips, with inside the representation of some dragons. In the upper area two green tritons are represented while playing trumpet.
