VI.6.21 Pompeii. May 2005. Looking north along east wall of shop towards doorway in north-east corner into VI.6.17. According to Stefani, this was a large corner sales shop for the bakery at its rear. On the west wall was a lararium painting with serpent, on the facing wall was a supposed “cross” in stucco. See Stefani, G. (2005): Pompei. Un Panificio: in Cibi e Sapori a Pompei e dintorni, (p.139).

VI.6.20-21 Pompeii. 1824 drawing relief of a cross in stucco. See Mazois, F., 1824. Les Ruines de Pompei: Second Partie. Paris: Firmin Didot, p. 88. According to Stefani, this bakery was called “the bakery of the Christians” (Panificio dei Christiani) because of the relief of a cross in stucco, now vanished. This was found on the east wall of the shop, and was wrongly interpreted as a cross, the symbol of Christianity. See Stefani, G. (2005): Pompei. Un Panificio: in Cibi e Sapori a Pompei e dintorni, (p. 139). According to Della Corte, discovered in 1813 on the east wall in view of the road, was a panel of white stucco. On this panel in bas-relief was a Christian cross, although stylised, it was an object of veneration found opposite the pagan lararium. See Della Corte, M., 1965.  Case ed Abitanti di Pompei. Napoli: Fausto Fiorentino. (p.115).
