VI.11.1 Pompeii. Shop or dwelling. Excavated 1831-1835 or 1841-1843.

Fiorelli said this was a shop with hearth and latrine, a room at the rear and to the right a doorway to enter underneath the stairs.

VI.11.2, he said, was an entrance with stairs that took you to the upper rooms.

Liselotte Eschebach described VI.11.1 as a (vegetable?) shop.

In VI.11.1, she said, at the left rear was a hearth and latrine, next to this was the way through to the rear room of the shop.

On the right of the shop was the way through to a room under the stairs of VI.11.2.

VI.11.2, she said, was the stairs to the dwelling on the upper floor.

Andrew Wallace-Hadrill describes it as a dwelling of about 40 square metres, with room and back room.

VI.11.2, he says, are “stairs up (?)”.

VI.11.1 Pompeii. 1843.

Decima casetta. Componsi di poche rozzissime stanze o botteghe che sono contigue alla già descriva ottava con ingresso verso lo stesso lato, in cui è I' ingresso di essa, e che per conseguenza toccano al dorso la nona.

Tenth house. Composed of a few very rough rooms or shops which are contiguous to the eighth already described with an entrance towards the same side as its entrance, and which consequently touch the ninth at the back.
