VII.4.25 Pompeii. September 2005. Doorways from VII.4.24 and VII.4.25 to rear rooms. According to Boyce, on the west wall of the kitchen above the hearth, was a Lararium painting in two zones on a white background. It showed the Genius pouring a libation upon an altar. On each side of him was a Lar in a blue tunic and red pallium. Instead of the customary serpents, the lower zone was filled with a second sacrificial scene, but only the popa remains. He held a knife in his right hand and held a hog with his left. The hog was adorned with a red band around its belly and a garland. See Boyce G. K., 1937. Corpus of the Lararia of Pompeii. Rome: MAAR 14.(p.65, no.272) According to Garcia y Garcia, all the rear part of this dwelling were damaged by the bombing in September 1943. Demolition of the atrium, fauces and two other rooms in this area occurred, including the falling of the painted fourth style plaster. See Garcia y Garcia, L., 2006. Danni di guerra a Pompei. Rome: L’Erma di Bretschneider. (p. 97) According to Frohlich, only slight faded traces of the lararium painting remain. See Fröhlich, T., 1991. Lararien und Fassadenbilder in den Vesuvstädten. Mainz: von Zabern. (p.286, L84)
