VII.9.27 Pompeii. December 2005. Looking south across shop towards rear rooms and doorway linking to VII.9.40/41.

According to Jashemski, this narrow shop-house, which reached through the entire insula, had a large shop fronting onto Via degli Augustali.

At the rear of the shop area, was a garden which was visible both from the house and the street, through the very wide opening in the rear room of the shop.
