According to Boyce –
“Taberna. On one wall there is a painting of two serpents confronted at an altar furnished with offerings”.
He quotes references – Sogliano, 50; Fiorelli, Descrizione, 110; Niccolini, ii, Desc. Gen., 31.
See Boyce G. K., 1937. Corpus
of the Lararia of Pompeii. Rome:
MAAR 14, (p.48, no.164).
See Sogliano, A., 1879. Le pitture murali campane scoverte negli anni 1867-79. Napoli: (p.17, no.50, “nearly destroyed”)
According to Fiorelli - on one of the walls of this shop there was a painted lararium.
Nothing appears to remain now.
Fiorelli reported that only the serpents at the sides of the altar remained.
