VI.5.11 Pompeii. Independent steps to upper floor. Excavated c.1836, 1843.

 

VI.5.11 Pompeii. September 2005. Stairs to an independent dwelling on the upper floor. According to CTP, the north-west corner of the house at VI.5.14 was excavated in 1817, as well as the pseudoperistyle of VI.5.10 and atrium area of VI.5.9. The street wall at the north-west corner of the house at VI.5.14 collapsed and was reconstructed, which may provide the reason why Tascone, Mau and Eschebach, all indicated a rear doorway to VI.5.14, immediately south of this stairway, which, rightfully should have been assigned a number. This doorway was delineated by Russo’s map of 1817, and later by Mazois, Fiorelli – Sorgente, and Zangemeister (1865). Today the number VI.5.11 is not in situ but it has been assigned by the SANP to this staircase. See Van der Poel, H. B., 1981. Corpus Topographicum Pompeianum, Part V. Austin: University of Texas. (p.196-7)

VI.5.11 Pompeii. Between 1819 and 1832. Sketch by W. Gell showing a “Staircase of a small house”. This may or may not be the correct location, but if so, it would show the stairs in the north-west corner of the kitchen area, before a wall collapsed and was re-built differently, (see above). See Gell, W. Pompeii unpublished [Dessins de l'édition de 1832 donnant le résultat des fouilles post 1819 (?)] vol II, pl. 77.
