Room 9, looking east along corridor 9 on south side of triclinium, which gave access to rear rooms.
At the far end is a door leading to a small alcove, room 13, with the doorway to room 10 on its right.
On the extreme right is the doorway to room 8.
According to Packer’s note:
“Where they have restored lintels, the heights of the doors to these rooms are as follows: between rooms 9 and 10, 1.96m; that between rooms 9 and 13, 1.71m.”

According to Packer, room 12 may have been a dormitory for slaves.
There were no traces of stucco on the walls of rooms 10 or 11, but in room 12 the stucco was plain white.
The room on the upper floor above room 12 may have been painted yellow.

Room 10, north-east corner with masonry base for wooden steps to upper floor.
According to Packer, the area reached by the wooden steps would have been above rooms 10-12 and would probably have been a single large chamber, perhaps a dormitory.

According to Packer, both of these rooms would have had walls painted with plain white stucco.
I.11.16 Pompeii. December 2007. Room 7. According to Packer, the ceiling of this room was only 2.80m above the floor level.
A ledge ran along the west side, and there was a small basin in the north-west corner.
A lead pipe with only a single break apparently filled this basin with rain-water, and in the centre of the west wall behind the ledge was a triangular opening which appeared to be a drain.
An arch extending the length of the hall supported the ceiling on the west side of the room.

According to Packer, the room received its light from a window in the west wall which was later closed and converted into a rectangular niche.
As cuttings in the plaster of the west wall showed, the original ceiling was a false vault with a crown 3.05m above the floor.
Packer included the note: “RDP report that this room was under excavation on July 14 1960. Some of the more important items found in it include:
an ovoidal bronze situla, a bronze patera, a silver spiral form ring, the bronze disk of a mirror, part of a lock, a terracotta lamp and an Arretine plate”.
