VII.4.31/51 Pompeii. 1932. Photograph of money chest base in the atrium of VII.4.31.
According to Pernice –
this lava block was found in the atrium of VII.4.31, left from the vestibule.
A groove runs
across it, in the middle of which is a hole for a mandrel/clamp, which has been
cemented in modern times; no traces of lead have been preserved. No
notches.
