IX.2.21 Pompeii. March 2009. Room 11, south-west corner of garden area. 

According to Jashemski:

“Fiorelli mentions, but does not locate, an altar in the garden. 

Trendelenburg mentions both a statue base and an altar.  Neither are there today”. 

See Jashemski, W. F., 1993. The Gardens of Pompeii, Volume II: Appendices. New York: Caratzas. (p.229).

According to Boyce, “the report in the Bull. Inst. describes a second statue base with altar in the peristyle;

Fiorelli mentions only an altar; there is nothing to be seen there today”.

See Boyce G. K., 1937. Corpus of the Lararia of Pompeii. Rome: MAAR 14. (p.81, no.401)

Boyce gave the reference - Bull. Inst., 1871, 193.

According to Boyce, in these two cubicula many objects were found including jewellery and four bronze statuettes:

One was “Abbondanza” holding a cornucopia in the left hand and a patera in the right – probably the Genius -

and Minerva, helmeted and holding a spear in the right hand, and a shield on the left arm.

Also found were the two Lares, each holding rhyton and patera.
