We explore a house named after a greek playwright, with a hoard of buried treasure, frescoes from the trojan war, and possibly owned by a former empress. The house of the Menander is located in Pompeii, Italy and was buried during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. We look at the historical significance of the house, as well as walk through with an emphasis of deciphering the most important pieces within the home, including the fresco that was used to give the house its present name. The house has a number of frescoes depicting the Trojan War focused on the arrival of the Trojan Horse and the sacking of the city of Troy.
