IX.1.24 Pompeii. May 2010. West wall with two blocked doorways or rectangular niches.

According to Fiorelli, this shop would have originally belonged to the house at IX.1.22, having two blocked doorways on its left side which would have put it into communication with the shop at IX.1.23 and therefore the house at IX.1.22.

At the rear of the shop was a small room, with the stairs to the upper area.
