The House of Menander is one of the largest and best-preserved domus in Pompeii. Its owner, Quintus Poppeius Sabinus, is believed to have been related to the second wife of Emperor Nero, Poppaea Sabina. The house owes its name to a fresco depicting Menander, a famous playwright of ancient Greece. The domus had two floors and featured an elegant atrium and a peristyle. Additionally, it had private thermal baths and is adorned with magnificent frescoes, most of which are in the IV style, depicting scenes inspired by the Trojan War narrated by Homer.
