Her0023
Her0023 House of the Mosaic Atrium
The first house that we passed by was the House of the Mosaic Atrium (Her0023). Herculaneum. The really interesting thing about the atrium that I hope you can see in the picture is how the mosaic floor in the atrium is buckled into waves. The floor was buckled by the weight of the pyroclastic flow that fell on it and filled up the room. I hope they don’t “fix” the waves as part of the restoration.
