Casa del Salone NeroThe house of the black salon owes its name to its party hall entirely painted in black with geometric patterns. In this house were found waxed tablets of L. Venidius Ennychus who is supposed to have owned the house. The tablets speak of her eligibility for Augustale, the purchase of a slave, and the birth of a daughter.

The skeleton house is probably the result of the aggregation of three smaller buildings, and its name derives from the discovery of human remains in a second-floor room in 1831.
