IX.6.4 Pompeii. May 2005. Looking north-east across site, from IX.6.3 small room on north side of atrium. The side and rear walls are missing between IX.6.3 and IX.6.4. The lower left of the picture is the area of a small room of Ix.6.3. Approximately behind this would have been the garden area of IX.6.4. According to Boyce and Jashemski, there was an arched lararium niche in the south wall of the garden area behind the tablinum. Boyce said it was called la piccolo nicchia dei Penati, by Not. Scavi, 1879, 20. See Boyce G. K., 1937. Corpus of the Lararia of Pompeii. Rome: MAAR 14. (p.86, no.429) See Jashemski, W. F., 1993. The Gardens of Pompeii, Volume II: Appendices. New York: Caratzas.
