. The life of the Greeks and Romans. ium (2), quite inaccordance with Vitruviuss (VI., 8) rules for such villas, called byhim pseudourbance; in the position of the peristylium they there-fore differ essentially from town-houses. Fourteen Doric columns(the lower third of which is not fluted, but painted red, while thetwo upper thirds are white and fluted) form the peristylium, and 374 VILLA OF DIOMEDES AT POMPEII. surround a compluvium, the water of which communicated withtwo fountains (puteal) between the columns. On the side oppositethe door of the peristylium lies the tablinum (3), the other sidesbeing adjoined by smaller chambers, some of which were bed-rooms, as appears from the beds worked into the walls. Thetablinum opens into a sort of gallery (4), connected on one sidewith the peristylium by means of fauces, and opening on theother into a large hall (5), the cecus. This again opens into asecond large court with colonnades by means of a window reachingalmost to the ground. The enclosing walls of the space hitherto. Fig. 394. described are marked black in our plan, the hatched lines betweenthem being meant for the walls of smaller chambers on theground floor underneath it. The just-mentioned court (6), mea-suring 33 square metres, was surrounded by a vaulted passage(7), supported by pillars (cryptoporticus), two sides of which arein perfect preservation ; to judge by some of the remains it musthave had a second story. In the centre of the court lies a largepiscina adorned with a jet, and behind it an open structureresembling a temple, which most likely served as triclinium inthe summer. The six columns formerly supporting it are partly ROMAN GRAVES. 375 preserved. To the left of the street-door we notice a triangularcourt (8) enclosed on two sides by a covered passage, the thirdlonger side being occupied by a cold plunging-bath. We alsofind a tepidarium (9) and calidarium (10) for tepid and hot baths, in the latter of which the tub for the hot.water, the niche
