IX.9.e
According to Boyce, in
the small open courtyard in the centre of the house, a sacrarium was formed.
It was constructed by
building a small wall parallel to the south wall, and then covering the
enclosure with a sloping roof.
At the east end of
this enclosure stood a small altar of tufa, originally coated with stucco.
The inside surface of
the north wall was decorated with a white background and a drawing.
This was of an
aedicula and within it a male figure, standing, clad in a yellow tunic.
The south wall was
also covered with white stucco, the west wall with a coarser variety.
A female head of
terracotta was found near the sacellum, apparently part of a statue.
Not. Scavi, 1889, 136; 1891, 255.
