Excavated 1834, 1844 and 1867?

VII.3.40 Pompeii. September 2005. Entrance.

According to Della Corte, between the doorways of VII.3.39 and VII.3.40, was written a curious painted graffito.

He thought it was written not much after the year 80BC.

Quintio(m) si qui recusant assidat ad asinum [CIL IV 2887]

Della Corte translated this as,“Chi rifiuta Quinzio, (o gli e contro nell’elezione), merita la pubblica fustigazione a dorso d’asino”

This roughly translates as “Who refuses Quinzio (or is against in the election), deserves the public flogging on a donkey’s back”.

See Della Corte, M., 1965. Case ed Abitanti di Pompei. Napoli: Fausto Fiorentino. (p. 125)

According to Fiorelli, at the end of the vicolo near these doorways, there were various painted graffiti. Two of them were

SALINESIBVS . FELICITER

IVDICIS . AVG . FELIC

The latter was painted in red letters on the upper part of the wall. Also inscribed in big letters was the word ROMA.
