VI.2.16 Pompeii. September 2005. Looking west from south-west corner of atrium. According to Fiorelli, this was the stairs to the upper floor. According to Hobson, the narrow room with a step up over a threshold stone and a window at the far end was possibly a latrine. However, an area in the kitchen with a low wall, on which a screen might have been stood and again with a window, suggests the position of a latrine. Either or both could be a latrine. See Hobson, B., 2009. Latrinae et foricae: Toilets in the Roman World. London; Duckworth. (p.68)

According to Jashemski, the peristyle garden at the rear of the tablinum was excavated in 1811.

It was enclosed on the north and west sides by a portico, supported by a column in the middle of each side.

In the north-west corner (on the left) it was supported by a pillar.
