The large stone in the roadway, on the left of the photo, would have led to the doorway to the garden of VII.5.12.

According to Fiorelli-

VII.5.12. And then comes the doorway to the garden of the Men’s Baths, preceded in the roadway by one of those large stones which give access passing from one side to the other of the roadway.

(“E vien dopo la porta del giardino del bagno virile, preceduta nella via da una di quelle grandi pietre che ne facilitano l’accesso, dando passaggio da uno all’altro margine.”)
