It had the usual notches for the boards and the lowering to the right for the movable shutter. It seemed the doorposts were coated with plaster, painted red.

VI.16.40 Pompeii. May 2005. Room B, looking east across counter towards two rear rooms C and D and a corridor E to rear, leading to rooms F and G. According to NdS, room B was the bar-room, around which were smaller rooms. Adjacent to the north wall, near the entrance doorway, was the two-sided masonry sales counter or podium. At the other end in the centre of the bar-room, it ended with a kitchen oven (a), also in masonry. The external vertical surface of the sales counter was painted in red. The horizontal surface was decorated with embedded triangular slabs of marble and other shapes. Leaning against the north wall were the usual three small masonry steps, painted in red, to display the goods and housewares. The room was rather rustic. At the east end of the north wall of the bar-room, near the doorway to room C, was a doorway to the area below the stairs at VI.16.39. Rooms C and D were rooms for the use of the clients of the bar. When excavated, the entrance doorposts on the left showed the imprint left by the timber. At the north end of room G, behind room C, was the latrine (b).

VI.16.40 Pompeii. May 2005. Looking south-east from entrance doorway towards corridor E on south side. The room F was lit by a window in the southern wall, and was reached by the corridor E. According to Boyce, in the room reached by the corridor leading from the bar-room, was a lararium painting. It was on a large panel on the west wall bordered with broad stripes, yellow at the sides, red at the top. Within were painted two serpents confronted at a cylindrical altar. The serpents were of a brownish colour and each had a red crest and beard, both larger on the one on the right. The altar was tiny in comparison with the serpents, and was painted in imitation of red and yellow marble. On the top of the altar were two eggs and a pine cone. Below the painted altar, a tile was embedded in the wall to hold the offerings. The background was profusely adorned with green plants and red flowers. Across the top of the panel was stretched a triple festoon, upon the middle of which perched a bird. See Notizie degli Scavi di Antichità, 1908, 370. See Boyce G. K., 1937.
