Iulia Felix, daughter of Spurius, known only by name, was the proprietor of an establishment in Pompeii that was apparently a dining and bathing club. The property covered an entire city block, and included baths, dining facilities, and a very large kitchen-garden. As many property owners did, lulia Felix rented to tenants the spaces adjacent to her property. According to the following inscription on a building in the ill-fated city, it seems that the entire property was available, including shops and apartments that were not part of the club proper.
