#FrescoFriday; from the tablinum of the House of Meleager at #Pompeii, the giant Argus Panoptes watches over Io, whose bovine form in the myth is conveyed by her horns in the painting. Now in the Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli.

In my imagination, this gorgeous bronze pantheress - with inlaid spots of copper, silver, and niello - sat on a table in a patrician's tablinum. She seems to be fending off an enemy - maybe there was a bronze lion attacking her? 🏺

For #FrescoFriday we're on the #Palatine hill in #Rome, in the #tablinum of the #HouseofLivia, where #Freud would have something to say about the #column holding up the statue of #Zeus in this scene with the sexy priestess #Io and her captor #Argus. #ClassicsBluesky 🏺
IO AND ARGUS, 30 BCE. TABLINUM, HOUSE OF LIVIA On the right-hand wall of the central tablinum in the House of Livia is this mostly ruined central scene. Dimly visible in the background is a statue on a column, which is probably Zeus, the horny almighty troublemaker. In the foreground at centre is Io, a nymph and priestess of his wife Hera who Zeus fell in love with from afar. He knew Hera would resent any dalliance, so did the only logical thing: he turned her into a beautiful white heifer. However, Hera knew her husband only too well and set Io under the watchful guard of Argus, an all-seeing giant who chained her to an olive tree at the Heraion of the city of Argos. Here we see Io, in human form, sitting at centre, and the watchful Argus at right. Approaching from the left is Hermes, who is about to put Argus to sleep magically or by telling a really boring story, and will then slay him at Zeus' orders. Here he has the ordinary number of eyes but in most versions of the story he has three, four, or a hundred eyes (an optician's dream). After his death Hera puts his eyes on the tail of her representative bird, the peacock. Io has more travails in store, in heifer form, being tormented by a gadfly sent by Hera and having to swim from island to island in the Sea of Io, the Ionian Sea. Eventually Zeus bug-zaps the gadfly, turns Io back into a nymph and has his way with her. In none of this was her consent ever asked.

Een detail wil ik jullie niet onthouden. Toen ik in 2023 door de BBC gefilmd werd in Pompeii vroegen ze of ik nog een plek wist voor een sit-down interview. Ik riep toen meteen: het tablinum in het huis van Fronto. Een van de belangrijkste plekken waar de KU Nijmegen vroeger onderzoek heeft gedaan.

The mountain that is smoking just outside the city is a *distraction* Pompeians!

The people want to hear a candidate take on the *prices in the thermopolia.* They care about building new ~aqueducts~.

The hysteria over the so-called “volcano” is to get your mind off of tablinum issues…

Fine opus sectile geometric marble bordered by mosaic of birds in botanic swirls creates v elegant tablinum.
Such a stylish setting for enjoying raised garden w ponds, greenery, statue of Silenus in niche beyond.
House of Marcus Lucretius, #Pompeii.
Detail of mosaic floor. Opus sectile of colourful marble pieces in geometric patterns in the centre of a floor, bounded by a guilloche patterned border, surrounded by a further wide border of intertwining vines with flowers and birds all along them, in black and white tesserae. The patterned mosaic is set in a floor of small white tesserae with black borders at the walls and around other features. Photo shows a view through the tablinum of a Roman house in Pompeii. The full floor is shown between two tall walls, each with a now blocked up window. Beyond is a view of the garden, with more of the building visible on either side, hedges and small trees and a statue in an arched niche.

Beware of the dog??! 👀 🐾

Endearing Roman mosaic of a little black guard dog curled up asleep 💤 in the entrance passage of his family home in Pompeii.

My photo shows a view through the entrance passage of the house of Lucius Caecilius Iucundus (Casa di Cecilio Giocondo), REGIO V, INSULA I, 26, looking towards the atrium and tablinum. On the floor of the entrance passage is a mosaic depicting a small black guard dog which is curled up asleep. Mosaic depictions of ‘guard dogs’ were popular placed at the entrance of wealthy homes in Pompeii. Lucius Caecilius Iucundus, the owner of this house, was a wealthy banker who lived in Pompeii 2,000 years ago.
