House featuring erotic art unearthed at Pompeii
Briefly

"The newly discovered house is notable for having no atrium. This is a peculiarity considering that, despite its small size, it would not have been impossible to insert a small atrium with a classic bathtub and shower for collecting rainwater."
"More than an atrium, it was clothes and jewels that were beginning to show status. Having no atrium was starting to be a choice and we see that trend emerging at Pompeii," Gabriel Zuchtriegel, the director of Pompeii archaeological park, said.
"The excavation is key, explaining that the construction and restoration underway at the Amanti Island insula is complex. The site is divided into two different areas, some of which have already been concluded, and which make it possible for the public to enjoy through a system of elevated walkways."
"The erotic discovery is the second in recent months, following a similar find last year, highlighting the ongoing exploration and significance of Pompeii's historical and cultural narrative."
