House of the Telephus Relief

The Casa del Rilievo di Telefo is a Roman-era house buried by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD and excavated from the ancient city of Herculaneum. Its name comes from a high-relief sculpture found inside, depicting the myth of Telefo. This is a concrete, specific site: a single residence, not the whole city. The house offers a preserved glimpse into domestic Roman life, frozen by volcanic ash, with its notable relief providing a direct link to classical mythology and artistry.
