(c.2018-2019). In order to improve the drainage and security for visitors to the site, the soil, ash and exuberant vegetation was removed from the slope of the unexcavated land on the east side of Via del Vesuvio (Insula V.6).
This has cleared the area to enable the street boundary wall and rooms at its immediate rear to be viewed from Via del Vesuvio.

According
to Kuivalainen, this was the centre mosaic below a niche with columns and a
pediment from V.6.7.
The
mosaic consists of 3 figures in an architectural setting against a light blue
background and white floor area.
On
the left stands a man holding his right hand over and looking down on a
brownish basin on top of a low separate stand, a white column, entwined with a
garland.
The
main figures are a couple loosely embracing each other, a reclining drunken
youth looking upwards towards a female figure, seated behind, higher up on the
podium, looking down at him.
They are
without doubt Bacchus and Ariadne.
