PLATE XXVII.

Plan of the house of Sallust:

C • SALLVSTIVM • . ■

Sallust was, perhaps, only the patron of its occu-
pier: it has obtained the name of Actaeon from a
picture of Diana and Action, which still adorns
the inner court.
It is built irregularly, and communicates with two
streets.

1 The principal entrance, paved with mosaic.

2 The vestibulum, or passage to the cavsedium.

3 A shop, with a counter: round the front and sides
were jars, probably for wine or oil.

4 Another apartment, for the purpose of traffic. It
communicates with the cavasdium by the apart-
ment (5).

G Compluvium, or shallow cistern, for collecting
the water which fell through the roof. In it was
a bronze stag.

7 Altar for the household god.

8 Tablinum, with an inner room (9). They were
both separated from the garden by wide windows
upon a dwarf wall. The latter was probably tri-
clinium, or cubiculum 1, and is adorned with repre-

1 In cornu porticus amplisslimtm cubiculum a triclinio cucurrit.—
