According to PPP and
Giacobello, on the east wall of the kitchen above the bench was a lararium, now
completely disappeared.
According to PPP, the
Lararium was shown with altar, offerings, a Lar, and a decayed serpent.
According to
Giacobello, in the upper part was the figure of the Genius sacrificing near an
altar.
He was assisted by two
people, presumably the camillo and the tibicine.
On his left, was a
painted Lar with his arm held high, near to him was a large ham.
Upon discovery, the
serpent near an altar in the lower zone was only partially conserved.
