In Codex Topographicus Pompeianus: Regio I.3, (the copy at DAIR), Warscher included a description of
the insula.
This description is included at the end in all parts of
I.3 on the website.
“L’isola 3
della
Regio I apparteneva ai quartieri piuttosto poveri, ad’esenzione della casa
no. 3 tutto le case sono di
dimensioni non grandi.
La casa no. 3 presenta un interesse dal
punto di vista della costruzione:
il
peristilio si trova ad un livello più alto di
quello dell’atrio:
questa
particolarità
si riscontra solamente in questa casa.
Noi
abbiamo
un esempio inverso nella casa dell’Ancora nera ove l’atrio si
trova ad un livello più alto di
quello del peristilio.
Si sente bene nell’isola in questione la vicinanza dell’anfiteatro da una parte e delle caserme dei gladiatori dall’altra.
Non c’è dubbio che
le case nos 23, 25 siano
state abitato da gladiatori.
(translation:
“Insula 3 of Region I belonged to a rather poor neighborhood,
with the exception of house No. 3 all the houses were not large in size.
The house at no. 3
had a special interest from the point of view of construction: the peristyle
sits at a level higher than that of the atrium: this particularity was found
only in this house. We have a contrary example in the House of the Black Anchor
where the atrium was located at a higher level than that of the peristyle.
The nearness of the
amphitheatre on one side and the gladiators' barracks on the other suited well
the inhabitants of the insula in question.
There was no doubt
that the houses numbered 23, 25 had been inhabited by gladiators.”).
