III.1.6 Pompeii. May 2005. Entrance doorway, partly excavated
According to Della Corte, an obscure Praedicinius practiced his unknown commerce or industry here.
He came to this conclusion because of the graffito found on the pilaster on the right -
Popidium adulescentem
Praedicinius rog(at) aed(ilem)    [CIL IV 7608]
See Della Corte, M., 1965.  Case ed Abitanti di Pompei. Napoli: Fausto Fiorentino. (p.342)
According to Garcia y Garcia, there was slight damage to the south-east corner of this insula, when a bomb fell onto the Via dell’Abbondanza in 1943. The bomb fell in front of the SE corner of this insula, between III.1.6 and I.XI.7.  See Garcia y Garcia, L., 2006. Danni di guerra a Pompei. Rome: L’Erma di Bretschneider. (p.51)

According to Della Corte in Notizie degli Scavi, high on the left pilaster above the proper whitewash, the following electoral programmata came back to light –

 

in red

Casellium / aed(ilem) o(ro) v(os) f(aciatis)       [CIL IV 7602]

 

Towards the threshold, a fragment of tile was found (o.32m long) on which was painted, in red and with a simple outline, the head of a gladiator protected by his helmet: above it reads, the name –

 

Primus       [CIL IV 7603]

On the brick pilaster to the right of the entrance, the following electoral programmas appeared –

In the first, high up, we see for the first time the recommendation in the name of a candidate Calvenzio Quieto,

namesake of the incumbent Augustale with the well-known monumental tomb outside Herculaneum Gate.
