III.3.6 Pompeii. December 2017. Room in north-east corner with amphorae with inscription on neck.
Secondo il Parco Archeologico
di Pompei, le anfore rinvenute intatte, dovevano contenere olio, vino e salse
di pesce: un'anfora presenta iscrizioni dipinte in cui si leggono numeri, a
indicare i quantitativi, e, verosimilmente, il prodotto contenuto. L'uso come
deposito dell'ambiente è confermato dai graffiti visibili su una delle pareti
dell'ambiente, che ribadiscono l'attività di stoccaggio.
According to the Parco Archeologico di Pompei, the
amphorae found intact, had to contain oil, wine and
fish sauce: This vase has painted inscriptions in which you can read numbers,
to indicate the quantities, and, probably, the product contained. The use of
the room as storage is confirmed by the graffiti visible on one of the walls of
the room, which reiterate the activity of storage.

Is this the amphora found 5th June 1915, but recorded in Notizie degli Scavi, 1927, p. 91?
“From the rustic room placed in communication with the Schola on its north side, as well as the amphorae already published in Notizie 1915, p.335, another programma with this wording was found outside, written in black.”
