VI.11.14 Pompeii. Small house with workshop? Excavated 1841.
According to
Fiorelli –
“Piccola cassetta
priva di androne, e con la porta di ingresso immediata all’atrio. A destra di
questa è un cubicolo, e nel fondo stanno
il triclinio ed un oecus, tra cui un fauce, contenente
l’adito di una scaletta, e conducente alla cucina ed al viridario, ov’era situata una cella rustica con apotheca adiacente.”
See Pappalardo, U., 2001. La Descrizione di Pompei per Giuseppe Fiorelli (1875). Napoli: Massa Editore. (p.70).
(Small
house without entrance corridor, and with the entrance doorway immediate to the
atrium. To the right of this is a cubiculum, and at the rear are the triclinium
and an oecus, between which was a corridor, containing the base of a staircase/ladder,
and leading to the kitchen and the viridarium, where was located a rustic room with
adjacent storeroom/cupboard.)
