V.1.23 Pompeii. December 2005. Entrance.

According to Della Corte, a curious electoral recommendation was found here and the house was named from the Fauste named in it:

Appuleium

II vir(um) rog(amus) o(ro) v(os) f(aciatis)

Fauste (h)[e]rniose (fac) [CIL IV 3421].

See Della Corte, M., 1965. Case ed Abitanti di Pompei. Napoli: Fausto Fiorentino. (p.99)

According to Epigraphik-Datenbank Clauss/Slaby (See www.manfredclauss.de) it read:

Appuleium

II vir(um) rog(at) o(ro) v(os) f(aciatis)

Fauste Prniose [CIL IV 3421].
