II.8.6 Pompeii. December 2006. Summer triclinium in garden, looking north-east. According to Wilhelmina, near the triclinium the original excavators had found a human skeleton, two gold finger rings and five gold coins. There were also seven medical instruments, two probes and a bronze strigil. Found near the lararium was a marble statuette of Hercules, which had once stood in the lararium, so the garden was named the garden of Hercules. See Jashemski, W.F., 2014. Discovering the Gardens of Pompeii: Memoirs of a Garden Archaeologist, p. 193.
