Resumen

The image of Medea depicted in the fresco of the House of Dioscuri shows us the resignification and uniqueness in reception, when compared with the imagery repertoire from the Greek world whose images represent the moment of the children's death. The wealthy host, who descended from the Nigidius Maius family, was supposed to receive his clients and important magistrates in large rooms or small private settings inside the residence for confidential discussions. The physical space performs the social functions of leisure and business, as the amici enjoy the banquet reclined in the large reception room located near to the garden and the peristyle. In the peristyle the most expressive and luxurious decorations were placed, strategically in a way that the visitor and spectator could see them, and, at the same time, the adornment expressed the common identity of its residents. We aim at analyzing the sociopolitical life of the Nigidius Maius family, owners of the House of Dioscuri in Pompeii.
