V.1.11 Pompeii. December 2005. Kitchen, hearth and niche, looking east.

According to Boyce, the arched niche on the east wall above the hearth had two holes in its floor for the bases of statuettes.

Only a faint trace of the original lararium painting on the wall beside the niche remained (when he wrote in 1937).

V.1.11 Pompeii. December 2005.

Looking west along corridor “v’ “, towards a room “u” (a narrow space) and “x” with niche on south wall, according to Boyce.

This niche was ruined but had traces of painting visible on its walls.

See Boyce G. K., 1937. Corpus of the Lararia of Pompeii. Rome: MAAR 14. (p.32, no.76).

In this same room, in the latrine in the north-east corner, Sogliano reported a painting of Vesta.

See Boyce G. K., 1937. Corpus of the Lararia of Pompeii. Rome: MAAR 14.  (p.32, no.77)

See Sogliano, A., 1879. Le pitture murali campane scoverte negli anni 1867-79. Napoli: (p.16, no.43).

According to Thomas Staub – “This narrow space (0.6 m wide, and 3.4 m long) is in its present state difficult to interpret. It has the appearance of a corridor with a dead end, e.g. ending in the closed north wall. It could either have served as a staircase for an upper floor above the north-western part of the house, but there are no indications or remains of either stairs or an upper floor in the last stage of the life span of the house.”
