According to Niccolini, All the space of the plinth that protrudes forward from the closed base had an iron latticework, the remains of which can still be seen surround this space, and one entered through two gates.

See Niccolini F, 1854. Le case ed i monumenti di Pompei: Volume Primo. Napoli, Tempio della Fortuna, Tav. I, p. 2.
