According
to the card, the capitals on display in the room above, are from –
VII.4.57 Casa dei Capitelli Figurati/House of the Figures
Capitals,
V.1.7 Casa del Torello di bronzo/House of the Bull,
IX.1.20 Casa dei Diadumeni/House of Diadumeni.
(Note –
We would
like to respectfully suggest that the writing of V.1.7, perhaps should read
VI.17.17, and that this capital did not come from House of the Bull but from a
house in Via Consolare at Insula Occidentalis instead.)
