The house of the Wild Boar has the typical "atrium style" plan. It is based on the entrance-atrium-tablinum axis, sumptuously organized so that the guest would become aware of the host's social status immediately upon entering. It is particularly worthy of mentioning that on the floor of the Atrium is a mosaic which gives the house its name. The mosaic depicts a hunting scene showing a "wild boar being attacked by dogs".

 The decoration in the second room to the right of the atrium is especially well preserved; less so the large scene painted on the back wall of the garden, depicting a wild hunt: an allusion to the suburban villas and their hunting grounds. In the tablinum, which opens onto the atrium and garden you will find magnificent frescos. The molding, in the tablinum, imitates marble wall coverings; the predella depicts Nile landscapes and cherub hunters. The walls have sky blue panels similar to wind-filled tapestries.
