See Sogliano, A. La Casa dei Vettii in Mon. Ant. 1898, (p.233-4, part of Fig.1)

 

According to Sogliano –

“The corridor (g) contains masonry steps, ascending to the upper floor, and below were found on 12th December 1894 – a bronze dish, many remains of the bronze ornaments of a horse harness, a small buckle and two bridles, one with a bit, the other without; the latter was engraved on both sides with the name of the manufacturer Pilonius Fel(i)x. It was published in Notizie degli Scavi, 1895, p.32 (cfr. CIL X, 8071, 51).

Passing through the corridor (g), you enter the shop (h), which served as the posticum to the house, and where on one side there is the entrance to the small stable (k) and on the other to the latrine (i).

Close to (g) and (h), there is a Well in (l (L)), inaccessible at least in the height of the ground floor and abolished by the ancients, because it was found almost full of rubble resulting from the renovation of the house.”

See Sogliano, A. La Casa dei Vettii in Pompei in Mon. Ant. 1898, (p.264-265).

 

(Il corridoio (g) contiene nel suo prolungamento una scaletta di fabbrica, ascendente al piano superiore, e nel cui sottoscala si rinvennero in 12 decembre 1894 una patera di bronzo, molti avanzi degli ornamenti in bronzo di un finimento per cavallo, una piccola fibula e due briglie, l’una col morso, l’altra senza; quest’ultima nei due lati porta inciso il nome del fabbricante Pilonius Fel(i)x. Fu edita nelle Notizie del 1895, p.32 (cfr. CIL X, no. 8071, 51).

Passando pel corridoio (g), si entra nel bottega (h), che serviva di posticum alla casa, e dove dall’un lato si trova l’adito al piccolo stabulum (k) e dall’altro la latrina (i).

A ridosso di (g) ed (h) vaneggia in (l) un pozzo, inaccessibile almeno nell’altezza del pian terreno ed abolito dagli antichi, perché rinvenuto quasi ricolmo di calcinacci risultati dalla rinnovazione della casa.)
