(Originally, this Insula was numbered as Reg. II, Insula 14, and then in the 1950’s at the moment of excavation altered to Reg I, Insula 14).

According to Wilhelmina, “substantial amounts of original lapilli had been left along the south wall of the garden area.
In the south-east corner of the garden was the triclinium, smaller than most, and two tables still covered by original lapilli.
Between the couches was a round table, whereas the one against the south wall was a rectangular one.
Two of Wilhelmina’s students happily posed on the triclinium, waiting to be served.”

According to Wilhelmina, “Between the round table and the triclinium, we uncovered detailed evidence of the last meals enjoyed under this vine-covered arbour, etc. …… There were however, a number of large bones identified as domestic cow and wild boar or pig, which indicated that more desirable food had also been enjoyed; the cleaver marks on the bones showed that they had been split to obtain the marrow, an ancient delicacy.”
“Both in the backfill and buried at the base of the large limestone block in the south-west part of the garden, more bones of cow, wild boar or pig, and also of sheep or goat, as well as various shells were found.”

According to Wilhelmina, “at the rear of the garden was a large limestone block which probably was used as a rustic altar.
A few coins were found nearby, then a buried amphora with its mouth carefully closed by a stone, although it proved to be empty.
The large tree root near the south wall had the appearance of an olive tree of over 100 years old.
Fragments of planting pots were found near the north wall, which had been badly damaged by the original excavators.
A roof tile found in the garden had the paw-print of a dog, which had been pressed into the wet tile before it had been fired.”

According to Wilhelmina, “among the 49 root cavities found in this garden, 4 were those of large trees found at the edges of the garden.
The large root cavity (0.47 x 1.17m) near the south wall had the appearance of the root of an olive tree about 100 years old.
This would account for the large amount of olive pollen found in the soil sample taken near the wall adjacent to the triclinium (the only area protected by the substantial covering of original lapilli
The large tree root cavity (0.38 x 0.97m) near the north wall had the appearance of a fig tree about 30 years old. Fragments of carbonized figs were found nearby.”

According to Wilhelmina, “49 root cavities were found, 4 of these being large trees located at the edges of the garden. The others, excepting those found near the triclinium and an additional clump near the limestone block, were irregularly spaced in 5 rows running lengthwise in the garden, and these cavities were probably those of trees. There were also carbonized beans found in the garden, as well as carbonized figs and olive pollen”.

According to Wilhelmina,
“Fragments of planting pots (which had been badly damaged during the original excavation of this site) were found along the north wall.
These may have indicated that a few grafted trees of a special variety might have been started in these pots”.

According to Wilhelmina,
“The large fishhooks (preserved length 6cm) that she discovered in a root cavity in I.14.2 indicated that it had been used for catching ocean fish of 18lbs or more in size. A terracotta watering pan for birds or small animals attested to the presence of pets in the garden”.

According to Wilhelmina, “The large limestone block erected at the rear of the garden probably served as a rustic altar.
There was great excitement when we found a few coins nearby, then a buried amphora with its mouth carefully closed with a stone.”
