A curious bed scene excavated in Resina. A young man lies on a bed drinking wine from a horn or Rhyton, a woman wears a fine peplos dress, while a slave enters with a box of perfume. On the table are vases of offerings to the gods Jupiter, Mercury and the Graces, and a pierced vessel to hold snow to chill wine. Copperplate engraved by Tommaso Piroli from his own "Antichita di Ercolano" (Antiquities of Herculaneum), Rome, 1789. Italian artist and engraver Piroli (1752-1824) published six volumes between 1789 and 1807 documenting the murals and bronzes found in Heraculaneum and Pompeii.
