VIII.7.22 and VIII.7.23 would have been underneath the peristyle and dwelling of VIII.7.24.

It is very difficult to identify from the plan of the area and the photos exactly which area belongs to which.

The majority of the photos of VIII.7.22-24, including the underground areas, are included in VIII.7.24.

Photo and information courtesy of Drew Baker/Gareth Beale/Hembo Pagi. According to Boyce, in the north wall of a corridor leading from the underground kitchen to the posticum at VIII.7.22, was a large arched niche. This was I.0 metre high, 0.85 wide, 0.50 deep and 0.70 above the floor. The back wall of the niche was painted red, and on it was the figure of Fortuna, clad in a green tunic and yellow mantle. In her left hand she held a cornucopia, and in her right, a rudder. To the left of her feet was a large globe. The side walls of the niche and the area under the feet of the goddess were decorated with green plants. See Boyce G. K., 1937. Corpus of the Lararia of Pompeii. Rome: MAAR 14. (p.78, no:378) Fiorelli describes, VIII.7.22 as a corridor belonging to VIII.7.24, with stairs to upper floor. Nearby is the kitchen, in which remains the niche of the Penates, with the image of Fortuna with cornucopia and rudder. See Pappalardo, U., 2001. La Descrizione di Pompei per Giuseppe Fiorelli (1875). Napoli: Massa Editore. (p.134)

According to the plan in Overbeck-Mau, this area would appear to coincide with their room 11, the underground kitchen.
