Street compitum (altar) outside VI.14.17/VI.14.18, May 2005. According to Mau, the rear of the altar was a wall terminating in a gable. This was made of modern reproduction tiles. On this wall was a painted altar with four worshippers clad in togas, and a fluteplayer, the inseparable accompaniment of a Roman sacrificial scene . At the sides were two Lares, represented as youths, in loose tunics confined with a girdle. In one hand, they held high, a drinking horn (rhyton) from which a jet of wine flowed into a small pail (situla) held in the other hand. See Mau, A., 1907, translated by Kelsey, F. W., Pompeii: Its Life and Art. New York: Macmillan. (p. 234). See Helbig, W., 1868. Wandgemälde der vom Vesuv verschütteten Städte Campaniens. Leipzig: Breitkopf und Härtel. (41)
