Maximum splendor during Augustan age when Villa was considerably enlarged and embellished. Found in lower pumice eruption layers of the Villa, suggesting bodies were caught in the early stages of the eruption of Mount Vesuvius.
Important restoration and conservation work on the frescoes took place from 2013 to 2015.

Although covered with meters of pumice and ash, the Villa sustained only minor damage during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Most of its walls, ceilings, and particularly its frescoes survived largely intact.
The villa is named for the paintings Room 5, which are in the Second Style and dated to about 70-60 BC.

This analysis is based on stratigraphic evidence and the dating of the Second Style frescoes, which are the earliest decoration in the villa stylistically dating to the early 1st century BC.
After construction, it was then a villa urbana, which is a type of suburban villa, with large rooms and hanging gardens, in a panoramic position.

Following the earthquake of 62 AD, it fell into disrepair, as did much of the city, and was transformed into a villa rustica with the addition of agricultural equipment such as a wine press.
