V.2.f  Pompeii. May 2005. Entrance, looking east. According to NdS, the atrium was devoid of an impluvium, but to the right of where one entered was a small hearth. Above the hearth was a semicircular niche and a short distance away, in the south-west corner of the atrium, was a latrine which would have been protected by a lean-to roof. See Notizie degli Scavi, 1896, (p.436. See Mau in BdI, VIII, 1893, (p.7-9)
According to Boyce, just to the right of the entrance against the west wall in the atrium stood a low masonry altar. Traces of fire were seen on the top of the altar when it was first excavated. Above the altar was an arched niche in the wall.
When Boyce wrote (1937) he said “the last layer of plain white stucco has fallen from the interior walls, revealing a finer layer beneath it” This was white and decorated with red spots. Not photographed yet, it may not be still there. See Boyce G. K., 1937. Corpus of the Lararia of Pompeii. Rome: MAAR 14. (p.36, 103)
According to Giacobello, the hearth was located near the niche in the south corner of the atrium. On the same west wall, to the left of the Lararium is a second smaller niche, and also a trace of a third niche to the left again. See Giacobello, F., 2008.
