The floor was plastered and the walls covered with murals of trees, fish and ducks.

The strange thing is that archaeologists found a layer of penis-shaped charms covering the roof of the house. This may be the property of a Roman official living in the area and penis-shaped charms that are supposed to prevent risk.

The penis is one of the most popular symbols of Roman culture, especially in the form of fascinum , a penis-shaped charm. Copper wind chimes called tintinnabula often have a penis image, produced in Pompeii to ward off evil spirits and demons. The penis is also engraved on the doorways in the city. The Roman boys also often wear bulla, a protective talisman present in the penis to a certain age.
