A large house on Via dell'Abbondanza that belonged to a wealthy citizen of Pompeii.

The house looks onto Via dell'Abbondanza and is one of the oldest and largest homes on the street. Its name comes from the electoral inscriptions painted on the façade.During the excavations the remains of several people who had taken refuge here were found; today they are studied to understand who lived in the house.
