VII.4.4 Pompeii. Thermopolium. Excavated 1824?
According to
Fiorelli –
“Una seconda
bottega fu un termopolio, col banco della vendita, le urne ed il focolare, una
cella per gli avventori con apotheca accanto, la cucina, ed un locale rustico
in cui era la latrina, attiguo ad altro luogo scoverto
risultato dalla demolizione di fabbriche piu
vetuste.”
See Pappalardo, U., 2001. La Descrizione di Pompei per Giuseppe Fiorelli (1875). Napoli: Massa Editore. (p.89).
(trans: The second shop was a thermopolium, with a sales counter, the urns and the
hearth, a room for customers with cupboard/small room next to it, the kitchen,
and a rustic room where the latrine was, adjacent to another uncovered/open place
resulting from the demolition of older buildings.)
