IX.6.3 Pompeii. May 2005. Looking east from entrance corridor. According to Della Corte, the house would have been under the protection of Fortuna. In the vestibule, one used to be able to see a wheel with eight spokes in white tesserae in the floor made of cocciopesto. See Della Corte, M., 1965. Case ed Abitanti di Pompei. Napoli: Fausto Fiorentino. (p.164). This does not appear to be visible in either of the above two photos, presumably now it has been lost.

IX.6.3 Pompeii. May 2005. Doorway to kitchen area, looking south. According to Boyce, on the east wall (not photographed) was a lararium painting, the upper part was damaged when found. An altar stood between the Genius on the right, and the tibicen on the left. On each side was a Lar with rhyton and situla standing between two shrubs. In the lower zone were two serpents confronted at an altar furnished with two eggs. See Boyce G. K., 1937. Corpus of the Lararia of Pompeii. Rome: MAAR 14. (p.86, no.428). See Sogliano, A., 1879. Le pitture murali campane scoverte negli anni 1867-79. Napoli: (p.12, no. 25) According to Giacobello, today the painting has been totally lost. See Giacobello, F., 2008.
