Fountain Basin of the Ninfeo degli Eroti

64
This marble basin (2nd–3rd cc.) rises from a square masonry podium in a paved courtyard. It stood at the center of the Ninfeo degli Eroti (Nymphaeum of the Erotes), a decorative fountain complex likely dedicated to the Erotes, companions of Venus associated with love and fertility. Its integration with marble wall revetments demonstrates how Roman water features structured spaces of leisure and quiet devotion.
