VII.7.18 Pompeii. May 2006. Looking south towards entrance to bar-room. According to Eschebach, on the left would have been the kitchen with hearth, on the right a two-sided podium with a small oven. In the rear room against the south wall was the base of a wooden stairs to upper floor with a doorway nearby into a triclinium. See Eschebach, L., 1993. Gebäudeverzeichnis und Stadtplan der antiken Stadt Pompeji. Köln: Böhlau. (p.302) According to Garcia y Garcia, due to the bombing on the night between 14th and 15th September 1943 many of the rooms suffered from their plaster falling from their walls. The room at the rear, the triclinium, was decorated with an obscene painting, according to Fiorelli, already destroyed by 1875. See Garcia y Garcia, L., 2006. Danni di guerra a Pompei. Rome: L’Erma di Bretschneider. (p.116) Also found in the same room was the marble relief, see below.
