IX.1.23 Pompeii. September 2005. West wall of shop with recess, or blocked door from antiquity, and downpipe.

According to Fiorelli, this shop had belonged to the same house at IX.1.22, so the blocked doorway would have originally led into the entrance corridor of that house.

According to Hobson, there was a downpipe in the west wall, and that Eschebach had indicated a latrine.

According to Eschebach, there was a latrine under the steps to the upper floor.
