IX.9.11 Pompeii. March 2009. Room 2, south wall of cubiculum.

According to Boyce, this room housed an unusual sacellum.

The south wall was coated with a poor white stucco, and in it were set three arched niches.

A larger niche was in the centre, with a smaller one on either side. All were coated with white stucco.

In the street wall was yet another niche, formed by bricking up a former window.

Therefore the window was left without any windows.

The recess in the south-east corner must date from when the room was a simple cubiculum.
