House of the Silver Wedding
Archaeological remains of a Roman house in Pompeii
The House of the Silver Wedding is the name given to the archaeological remains of a Roman house in Pompeii, buried in the ash from the Eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. The house was excavated in 1893 and was named after the silver wedding anniversary of Umberto I of Italy and Margherita of Savoy, which took place in that year.[1]
The paintings in the house were fully published in one volume in 2002 [2] The publication was part of a project by the German Archaeological Institute to record houses in Pompeii.
