VII.5.25 Pompeii. Workshop with shop. Officina Vitraria?

VII.5.25 Pompeii. December 2005. Looking towards room at rear of shop.

According to Fiorelli-

VII.5.18-29. One sees a series of large shops topped with higher floors, amongst which was the doorway leading to the garden of the Men’s Baths.

They have no particularity of construction, but were found rich in objects, some of which would have fallen from the upper floors.

(Vedesi una serie di grandi botteghe gia sormontate da altro piano, tra le quali era l’adito (n.24) portante al giardino al bagno virile. Esse non hanno particolarita di costruzione, ma furon trovate ricche di oggetti, alcuni dei quali caduti dai cenacoli superiori.)
