This garden (a) is built partially into the edge of the hill and partially on vaults. A square opening enclosed by a high wall in the center of the garden supplies light to the floor below, shared by both the Casa della Gemma with windows on three sides and the Casa del Rilievo di Telefo next door with windows on one side. The garden was perhaps jointly owned, although neither had an entrance into the area. Three sides of the garden had large raised gutters 0.74 m. wide; 0.70 m. high which collected roof water and conveyed it to a cistern in the atrium of Casa della Gemma. A sundial is located in this garden.</p> <h2 id="plans">Plans</h2> <p><figure> <img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/roman-gardens/gre-images/main/content/place/italia/regio_i_latium_et_campania/herculaneum/insula_or_i/house_1/h_orientalis_1_1_3_a.jpg" alt="" onclick="fullscreen(this)"> <figcaption> Plan of the new excavations of Herculaneum (Maiuri, Herculaneum)</figcaption> </figure> <figure> <img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/roman-gardens/gre-images/main/content/place/italia/regio_i_latium_et_campania/herculaneum/insula_or_i/house_1/herculaneum_i.1_a.jpg" alt="" onclick="fullscreen(this)"> <figcaption> Herculaneum - insula orientalis I. 1-3</figcaption> </figure></p> <h2 id="images">Images</h2> <p><figure> <img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/roman-gardens/gre-images/main/content/place/italia/regio_i_latium_et_campania/herculaneum/insula_or_i/house_1/herc.i.1_7.12.78.jpg" alt="" onclick="fullscreen(this)"> <figcaption> Herculaneum - insula orientalis I. 1-2 (Stanley Jashemski, Jashemski Archives, University of Maryland)</figcaption> </figure> <figure> <img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/roman-gardens/gre-images/main/content/place/italia/regio_i_latium_et_campania/herculaneum/insula_or_i/house_1/herc.i.1_17.11.78.jpg" alt="" onclick="fullscreen(this)"> <figcaption> Herculaneum - insula orientalis I. 1-3 (Stanley Jashemski, Jashemski Archives, University of Maryland)</figcaption> </figure></p> <h2 id="keywords">Keywords</h2> <ul> <li> <a href="https://roman-gardens.github.io/search/?q=vaults">vaults (structural elements)</a> (<a class="id" target="_blank" href="http://vocab.getty.edu/page/aat/300001324" title="Art and Architecture Thesaurus (Getty)">AAT:300001324</a>) </li> <li> <a href="https://roman-gardens.github.io/search/?q=cisterns">cisterns (plumbing components)</a> (<a class="id" target="_blank" href="http://vocab.getty.edu/page/aat/300052558" title="Art and Architecture Thesaurus (Getty)">AAT:300052558</a>) </li> <li> <a href="https://roman-gardens.github.io/search/?q=atriums">atriums (Roman halls)</a> (<a class="id" target="_blank" href="http://vocab.getty.edu/page/aat/300004097" title="Art and Architecture Thesaurus (Getty)">AAT:300004097</a>) </li> <li> <a href="https://roman-gardens.github.io/search/?q=sundials">sundials</a> (<a class="id" target="_blank" href="http://vocab.getty.edu/page/aat/300041614" title="Art and Architecture Thesaurus (Getty)">AAT:300041614</a>) </li> </ul> <h2 id="places">Places</h2> <ul> <li> <a href="https://roman-gardens.github.io/search/?q=Herculaneum" title='search for "Herculaneum" within GRE'>Herculaneum</a> (<a class="id" target="_blank" href="https://pleiades.stoa.org/places/432873" title="Pleiades gazetteer of ancient places">Pleiades:432873</a>) </li> <li> <a href="https://roman-gardens.github.io/search/?q=Herculaneum%20%28deserted%20settlement%29" title='search for "Herculaneum (deserted settlement)" within GRE'>Herculaneum (deserted settlement)</a> (<a class="id" target="_blank" href="http://vocab.getty.edu/page/tgn/7031897" title="Thesaurus of Geographic Names (Getty)">TGN:7031897</a>) </li> </ul> <h2 id="bibliography">Bibliography</h2> <ul> <li>Maiuri, <em>Herculaneum</em>, p.65 <a href="https://search.worldcat.org/title/1107784297" target="_blank">(worldcat)</a></li> <li>Maiuri, <em>Ercolano</em>, p. 341 and fig. 266 (plan) on p. 337 <a href="https://search.worldcat.org/title/490581395" target="_blank">(worldcat)</a></li> <li>Gibbs, p. 295, no. 3074G</li> </ul>https://roman-gardens.github.io/id/9d96d268b2/Wed, 21 Apr 2021 00:00:00 +0000https://roman-gardens.github.io/id/9d96d268b2/<h2 id="dates">Dates</h2> <p>Unspecified</p> <h2 id="province">Province</h2> <ul> <li><a href="https://roman-gardens.github.io/id/d2e9307e07/">Italia</a></li> <li> <a href="https://roman-gardens.github.io/search/?q=Italia" title='search for "Italia" within GRE'>Italia</a> (<a class="id" target="_blank" href="https://pleiades.stoa.org/places/1052" title="Pleiades gazetteer of ancient places">Pleiades:1052</a>) </li> </ul> <h2 id="location">Location</h2> <ul> <li><a href="https://roman-gardens.github.io/id/8218388c4c/">Herculaneum</a> \</li> <li> <a href="https://roman-gardens.github.io/search/?q=Herculaneum" title='search for "Herculaneum" within GRE'>Herculaneum</a> (<a class="id" target="_blank" href="https://pleiades.stoa.org/places/432873" title="Pleiades gazetteer of ancient places">Pleiades:432873</a>) </li> </ul> <h2 id="location-description">Location Description</h2> <p>An ancient Roman town of Campania destroyed by the eruption of Mt.
