IX.3.14 Pompeii. December 2007. Entrance.

 

Front wall between IX.3.14 and IX.3.15. December 2007. Between entrances 14/15 Frohlich identifies a painting of Mercury and Minerva which is now destroyed. See Fröhlich, T., 1991, Lararien und Fassadenbilder in den Vesuvstädten. Mainz: von Zabern. (F62: p.331). Della Corte said the painting of Mercury and Minerva found on the doorpost to the right of the entrance was to bring good fortune to the unknown man of commerce working from here. A seal or stamp found here suggested he was C. Cat(ius) Scith(us). See Della Corte, M., 1965. Case ed Abitanti di Pompei. Napoli: Fausto Fiorentino. (p. 190, S22) See Trendelenburg in BdI 1871, (p.209)
