Sketch by Mazois of the painted lararium that was found on the north wall, but no longer visible.

A genius stood to the right of a blazing round altar.  A very small tibicen was to the left of the altar.

A tall wreathed Lar, dressed in blue tunic, red Pallium and high boots stood on each side.

Each Lar was pouring wine from a rhyton to a situla, Garlands and bushes were also in the scene.

In the lower part two huge serpents, in a background of plants, confronted a round altar which had offerings.
