I.4.22 Pompeii. December 2007. Fauces or entrance corridor, looking south across atrium towards courtyard/garden area.
According to Jashemski –
A small viridarium opens directly off the rear of the atrium, with a paved space (1.70 x2.50m) at the back, which Fiorelli suggested was a summer triclinium.
Soprano says there was certainly an outdoor triclinium of wood or other material in this space.

Fiorelli,op. c. p.68;
L’angolo S.E del
viridario, per uno spazio rettangolare, era ricoperta di cocciopesto (m.250 per
1.70).
Certamente era
riservato a un triclinio estivo in legno o in altro materiale.
