The actual skeletal remains of a number of people that were found in the "dining room" (triclinium — Room 19) of the House of Menander.
The House of Menander is located to the southeast of the Roman Forum of Pompeii. It is one of the largest and most opulent houses of Pompeii (19,000 sq ft.). A personal seal and graffiti indicate that Quintus Poppaeus Sabinus was its owner. He was a relative of the Empress Poppea Sabina, Nero's second wife. Its name comes from a fresco of a famous Greek dramatist, Menander found on one of the walls.
