IX.1.27 Pompeii. March 2009. South-west corner at front of shop, with remains of hearth. On the left of the entrance, was the hearth and an altar. According to Boyce, it was “a kind of altar with a small niche in the wall above it – presumably for the cult of the Lares”. Apparently fixed to it there was a marble slab bearing the inscription PACVVIVS . ERASISTRATVS . EX . VIsv [CIL X 930] Boyce also noted that Fiorelli said nothing about the connection between the altar and the incised slab but noted that the slab had been re-used as materiale di costruzione. See Boyce G. K., 1937. Corpus of the Lararia of Pompeii. Rome: MAAR 14. (p.80) See Pappalardo, U., 2001. La Descrizione di Pompei per Giuseppe Fiorelli (1875). Napoli: Massa Editore. (p.140) Cooley translates the latin inscription to Pacuvius Erasistratus, after a vision. [CIL X 930] See Cooley, A. and M.G.L., 2004. Pompeii : A Sourcebook. London : Routledge. (p.106, E58), where it is said to have come from IX.1.25. According to Boyce above, the place of discovery of CIL X 930, was given as IX.1.25, but wrongly so; cf. Fiorelli and the Bull.Inst. He gives the references - Fiorelli, Descr., 376; Bull. Inst., 1867, 162.
