The villa dates from the 2nd century BC and was probably connected to the wine trade, as a large collection of amphorae was found next to the peristyle.	The villa was discovered in 1974, 250m east of the Villa of Poppaea, during the construction of a school. Unfortunately it is not open to the public, and we therefore have little photographic material for this villa. The photographs here are provided by the Soprintendenza Archeologica di Pompei. The rustic building is built on two levels arranged around a monumental peristyle with a double order of doric columns in tufa brought from nearly Nocera (pictured left). The villa was named following the finding of a bronze seal bearing the name of the presumed owner. Also found were the bodies of a number of victims of the catastrophe (above) as well as a quantity of coins and jewellery. A box (pictured left) containing 170 coins together with gold and silver jewellery was found in the peristyle. The wooden framework of the box is covered by iron leaves, and is inscribed with three names, possibly the makers of the box.
