Vicolo del
Gigante, Pompeii. September 2005.
Looking north along side wall of
VII.15.1.


“Diogenes Structor” is scratched
in the top centre of the plaque above the tools.
Diogenes was probably the proud builder of the wall and
scratched his name on the plaque. The name would not have been visible from the
ground.
Now held in the SAP Deposits in Pompeii:
Inventory number 2254.
