The Casa dei Vettii is home to a famous depiction of Priapus with his gigantic phallus balanced on a pair of scales…much to the anxiety of many a male observer. The image symbolised the impressive wealth of its sibling owners, Aulus Vettius Restitutus and Aulus Vettius Conviva, who made their fortune trading in wine and agricultural produce.
