In the so-called House of Menandro you'll see a lot of paintings that draw inspiration from theatrical scenes. One of the owners was related to Nero's wife, Poppaea, and she was certainly a theater enthusiast; in fact, in one room he had a portrait made of the famous Greek playwright Menandro, who can be recognized by the name written on the hem of his clothes and by the roll in his hand.
