I.11.11 Pompeii. May 2006. Reproduction inn sign, part of a reconstruction of a thermopolium in Naples Museum.
According to Varone and Stefani, the original is now in the deposits at Pompeii.
The painting of the Inn sign had a phoenix with two peacocks and a welcoming inscription.
According to Varone and Stefani, the Inn sign of the phoenix was on the west (left) of the doorway.
On the sign, under the painting of the phoenix, was written –
Phoenix Felix Et Tu      [CIL IV 9850]
According to Cooley, this translated as – “The phoenix is lucky: may you be too.”

See Varone, A. and Stefani, G., 2009. Titulorum Pictorum Pompeianorum, Rome: L’erma di Bretschneider, (p.142-143)
See Cooley, A. and M.G.L., 2004. Pompeii: A Sourcebook. London: Routledge. (p.162)

On the same wall under the Inn sign, CIL IV 9851 was found.
According to Epigraphik-Datenbank Clauss/Slaby (See www.manfredclauss.de), it read -

Q(uintum)  Postum(ium)  M(arcum)  Cerrinium 
aed(iles)  o(ro)  v(os)  f(aciatis) 
Euxinus  rog(at) 
nec  sine  Iusto  scr(ibit)  Hinnulus    [CIL IV 9851]

According to Cooley, this translated as –
“Euxinus asks you to elect Quintus Postumius and Marcus Cerrinius aediles, together with Iustus.  Hinnulus wrote this”.
See Cooley, A. and M.G.L., 2004. Pompeii: A Sourcebook. London: Routledge. (p.116)
