VII.2.25 Pompeii. September 2005. Looking east to the viridarium at the rear of the portico. According to PPP, this is the viridarium and contains an arched niche in the east wall. Boyce thought this was the oecus. Jashemski points out that Boyce was in error, and that the area of the viridarium had been roofed to protect the paintings. Jashemski agreed with PPP and said the area at the rear was the small garden. See Bragantini, de Vos, Badoni, 1986. Pitture e Pavimenti di Pompei, Parte 3. Rome: ICCD. (p.80) See Boyce G. K., 1937.
