According to Fröhlich, there was a painted wall surface with an arched niche on a white ground.

The inside of the niche was moderately to severely faded, especially on the side walls and the bottom of the rear panel.

On the back wall of the niche, on the right, stands Vesta in long purple robe, crowned, sacrificing on a round altar to her right.

On the right-side panel, a devoted donkey is facing the goddess.

Left of the altar is Vulcan, wearing a yellow robe, his right hand outstretched to the altar holding a pair of tongs and in the left a hammer.

On his head, the God wore a felt hat.

A green pine tree behind the altar occupies the centre of the image.

The background of the rear wall and the side walls and the ceiling is decorated with rough, red and green flowers.

The paintings outside the niche were destroyed.

Outside the niche were once left and right the flanking Lares in green tunics and blue cloaks, with Rhyton with Patera.

Below the niche was painted a ham, a pig's head and a meat skewer and a snake creeping to the right.

On the back wall of the niche, is Vesta sacrificing on a round altar to her right.

On the right-side panel, a devoted donkey that turned the millstones has been given a place facing the goddess.

According to Bragantini, these paintings were very popular but of a low quality and were frequently renovated.

La boulangerie VII 1, 25.46-47

Avec cette deuxième campagne, la fouille dans la boulangerie démantelée de la domus Sirici (VII 1, 25.46-47) est arrivée à son terme. Pendant cette opération, l’enquête dans l’espace productif de la domus a continué devant le four et a été étendue à la pièce qui lui est contiguë à l’ouest (pièce 2) et dans le couloir qui mène à l’atrium ouvrant sur le Vicolo del Lupanare (pièce 3) (fig. 8).

Les plus anciens vestiges ont été aperçus en correspondance, d’un côté, de l’accès à la partie orientale de la domus et, de l’autre, du couloir qui mène à l’atrium accessible depuis le Vicolo del Lupanare. Elles constituent sans aucun doute la continuation de la construction découverte en 2010 (Note 4). Cette structure, dont on ne conserve que les fondations, est bâtie directement dans le sol non anthropisé et est caractérisée par l’emploi de caementa de calcaire liés avec un abondant mortier de terre. Si elle témoigne d’une organisation radicalement différente par rapport aux alignements des constructions postérieures – son orientation avec le nord géographique n’est compatible ni avec la tracé de la Via Stabiana, ni avec celui du Vicolo del Lupanare –, l’étroitesse des portions visibles interdit d’avancer toute hypothèse fonctionnelle.

Note 4: MEFRA 123-1, 2011, p. 306-313.

Nous ne présenterons pas dans ce cadre les bribes d’aménagements qui se sont succédé avant l’installation de la boulangerie, difficilement identifiables à l’exception d’une citerne se développant sous la pièce 2 et sous une partie de la pièce 1.

Quand la boulangerie s’installe, des changements radicaux viennent modifier l’organisation des espaces. À ce moment, les structures antérieures sont arasées et l’espace de mouture est aménagé avec trois meules et non deux comme le laisseraient supposer les négatifs du dallage.

Il est possible que ce ne soit qu’à ce moment que la pièce 2, destinée au façonnage des pâtons, soit mise en communication avec la salle de mouture. Sur le béton de tuileau, quatre empreintes de pieds destinés à supporter des planches en bois ont été relevées le long de la paroi ouest et au milieu de la pièce, permettant de reconstruire deux tables de travail pour le façonnage (fig. 9). Dans l’angle sud-ouest de la pièce se trouve un catillus fragmentaire en remploi, possible aménagement pour le pointage, similaire à celui observé en IX 5, 4 ou en XI 12, 6 (Note 5).

Lors du démantèlement de la boulangerie, d’importants travaux sont effectués dans la partie occidentale de la salle 2. Devant le four, la fouille a mis au jour une micro-stratigraphie sur 10 cm d’épaisseur de restes de combustion rejetés du four, mélangés à des rejets domestiques. Les couches sont très riches en charbon de bois, noyaux d’olive, cendres, fragments d’ossements, tandis que le matériel céramique est très fragmentaire et ne présente pas de trace de brûlure. Si le four devait continuer de fonctionner en 79 ap. J.-C., son utilisation dans un cadre commercial reste douteuse. À tout le moins, les niveaux de déchets n’ont pas été suffisamment piétinés pour former un véritable sol damé, laissant supposer une faible fréquentation.
