A fragment of wall plaster with graffito of gladiators was found from a wall in this peristyle.
It showed on a faded red background, a scene of violent gladiatorial combat.
The two combatants, both wounded, throw away the shields and fight hand-to-hand.
It was detached from the wall and is now held in the Pompeii storerooms. Inventory number: 20562.

According to Warscher, the rear (east) wall had rectangular holes for support beams which demonstrated that there were rooms on an upper floor.
These rooms would have received light through windows from IX.1.20.

According to Boyce, the lararium painting was done on a white background.
When he wrote his book in 1937, he said that on the right and left, the legs of the figures of the Lares were preserved.
In the middle was the lower part of Venus Pompeiana wearing a yellow chiton and blue mantle.
In her left hand she held a sceptre, and her right rested on a rudder.
At her side was a cupid who seemed to be leaning forward to touch the garment of the goddess.
Below this, the two serpents confronted at a painted altar.
On the floor below the painting a masonry altar stands against the wall.
