VI.7.19 Pompeii. May 2006. Entrance.

According to Della Corte, living in this house would have been a certain Fabius Tyrannus.

He thought this was proved by the two recommendations written on the left of the doorway which were –

 

Fabius rog(at)    [CIL IV 217]

 

(Fabius) Tyrannus rog(at)    [CIL IV 224]

 

On the right side of the doorway was found  –

(Fabius) Tyrannus cupiens fecit cum Sodales (sic)    [CIL IV 221]

See Della Corte, M., 1965.  Case ed Abitanti di Pompei. Napoli: Fausto Fiorentino. (p.46)

 

According to Pagano and Prisciandaro, found here in October 1828, on the left side between VI.7.18 and 19, were –

 

Samellium aed(ilem)

Fabius rog(at)    [CIL IV 217]

 

Romanum aed(ilem)    [CIL IV 218]

 

Rufum    [CIL IV 219]

 

Rufum

dig(num) rei p(ublicae)    [CIL IV 220]
