IV.1.e Pompeii. Shop? Excavated 1842.

All the doorways on the northern side of Via Nola, forming Regio IV, have been filled in as a wall to keep the earth bank back from the road.

It is very difficult to find the exact position of these doorways and link them to any site plan.

Liselotte Eschebach has numbered these houses from IV.1.1 to IV.1.7. Our numbering is IV.1.a to IV.1.g, as in CTP IIIA.

According to Liselotte Eschebach, there were Lararium paintings here.

One was of a naked Bacchus with thyrsus, grapes and sitting panther.

Opposite this was a painting of Mercury with petasos (hat) and winged sandals, an omphalos and a serpent.

She suggested this may possibly be F26 identified by Fröhlich as from Regio IV.

Fröhlich identified Bacchus on the right of the entrance and Mercury on the left.
