The Villa Arianna is one of the oldest villas in Stabiae, dating from the second century BC. It is situated on the western hills of Varano, in a clifftop position overlooking the Bay of Naples. The exact extent of the villa may never be determined, as large parts of the rooms nearest the sea have collapsed down the cliff, but an initial survey carried out by tunnel in Bourbon times produced a plan which covered an area of over 2500 sq.m. Including the large palaestra to the west the total area must be in the order of 11,000 sq.m. Some of the most important frescoes of ancient Stabiae were found in the adjoining cubicula. Most of them were removed during the Bourbon period and can now be seen in the National Archaeological Museum of Naples. They include frescoes of Medea, Leda and the Swan, Flora (pictured above right) and the Cupid Vendor , which depicts a seated matron, to whom an elderly courtesan seated opposite proffers a winged Cupid, lifted from a birdcage by the wings.
