“Cornice in terracotta of a Compluvium preserved at Pompeii”. Old photograph courtesy of Society of Antiquaries, Fox Collection. These are Grondaia or rainwater spouts that fed rainwater from the Compluvium in the roof to the Impluvium below. These were reconstructed and displayed during the 19th century in VII.4.15/16 before the Antiquarium was opened. Mau says they were originally from a House near the Porta Marina, The plan provided by Mau can be used to identify the house as VII.16.12/15 the House of Umbricius Scaurus.
