Villa of Diomedes

The Villa of Diomedes is an ancient Roman villa near Pompeii, Italy.

It is located outside the walls of Pompeii on the Via dei Sepolcri to the Gate of Herculaneum.

It was excavated from 1771 to 1774 by Francesco La Vega.

It was named after Marcus Arrius Diomedes, whose grave is opposite the entrance to the villa, though it is not clear that it was in fact his villa.
