VI.7.17 Pompeii. Steps to upper floor.
Linked to VI.7.16. (Strada di Mercurio 26)
According to Fiorelli –
“Gradinata di fabbrica per cenacoli independenti,
presso il cui adito era la celletta di colui che ne custodiva l’accesso”.
(translation: Masonry steps
leading to the independant upper floor rooms, near to which was the small room
of the person who guarded the access.)
