VI.13.2 Pompeii. 1878. Altar in north-east corner of peristyle.
Old painting showing the decoration of the lararium.
Boyce described a rectangular podium with yellow stucco bordered with red stripes.
On each of the two free sides was a serpent coiling towards a flaming altar on the free corner.
The serpents and the flaming altar were in stucco relief.
On each wall above was a Lar with rhyton and situla.
There must have originally been an aedicula with the roof supported by a single column at the one free corner of the podium.
