Room 13. Looking south in room recently excavated, probably a utility room unused at the time of the eruption.
The skeletons of two victims were recently discovered during an excavation in the insula of the Chaste Lovers.
They were the victims of an earthquake that accompanied the eruption, discovered beneath a wall that had collapsed between the final phase of the deposition of pumice and prior to the arrival of the pyroclastic flows that buried Pompeii for good.
Part of the south wall collapsed crushing one man.
The condition of the west wall, on the other hand, demonstrates the tremendous force of the earthquakes that took place at the same time as the eruption: the entire upper section was detached and fell into the room, crushing and burying the other individual.

Gli scheletri
di due vittime sono stati recentemente scoperti durante uno scavo nell'Insula
dei Casti Amanti.
Furono vittime
di un terremoto che ha accompagnato l'eruzione, ritrovate sotto il crollo di un
muro avvenuto tra la fase finale di sedimentazione dei lapilli e prima
dell'arrivo delle correnti piroclastiche che hanno definitivamente sepolto
Pompei.
Parte della
parete sud della stanza e crollata colpendo uno degli uomini.
Le
condizioni della parete ovest, invece, dimostrano la forza drammatica dei
terremoti contestuali all'eruzione: l'intera sezione superiore si è staccata ed
è caduta nella stanza, travolgendo e seppellendo l'altro individuo.

IX.12.9 Pompeii. May 2023. Room 13.
South end of utility room with the two skeletons and an upright amphora in the corner.
They were found lying on one side in a utility room, probably not in use at the time due to repairs or renovation work under way in the house, where they had taken refuge in search of protection.
They were probably two male individuals at least 55 years old.

Giacevano
riversi su un lato, in un ambiente di servizio, al tempo in dismissione per
probabili interventi di riparazioni o ristrutturazione in corso nella casa, nel
quale si erano rifugiati in cerca di protezione.
Si trattava
probabilmente di due individui di sesso maschile di almeno 55 anni.

IX.12.9 Pompeii. May 2010.
Room 13, south end. Next to the room where the skeletons were found was a kitchen, with a stone counter on which a pile of lime for building purposes was found, and a long narrow room with a latrine, the contents of which flowed into a drain beneath the street. The backfill directly covers the pavement made up of five tiles with quarter-circle fins, arranged flat The tiles have a gradual slope from the kitchen counter, which occupies the south-west corner, towards the latrine drain on the street.

Stanza 13,
lato sud. Accanto alla stanza in cui sono stati trovati gli scheletri c'era una
cucina, con un bancone in muratura sulla sua superficie si trova infatti un
mucchio di calce in polveri per la costruzione, e una stanza lunga e stretta
con una latrina, il cui contenuto sarebbe defluito in un canale di scolo sotto
la strada. Il terreno di riporto copre direttamente il lastricato composto da
cinque tegole con aletta a quarto di cerchio, disposte di piatto. Le tegole
hanno pendenza digradante dal banco della cucina, che occupa l’angolo
sud-ovest, verso lo scolo della latrina sulla strada.

Room 13, west wall of kitchen on west side. Next to the room where the skeletons were found was a kitchen, with a stone counter.
Above the kitchen counter were traces of a domestic shrine in the form of a
fresco which appears to depict the household gods (Lares) and a ceramic pot
partly set into the wall which may have been used as a container for religious
offerings.

Ambiente 13, parete
o0vest della cucina sul lato ovest. Accanto alla stanza in cui sono stati
trovati gli scheletri c'era una cucina, con un bancone in muratura.
Sopra il
bancone della cucina, le tracce di un Santuario domestico sotto forma di un
affresco che sembra raffigurare i Lares della casa et un vaso di ceramica
parzialmente incassata ne muro che potrebbe essere stato utilizzato come
ricettacolo di offerte religiose.

The southwest corner retains traces of a decorated plaster in a poor state
of conservation which must have referred to the first documented decorative
phase. Despite the non-optimal state of conservation, it is possible to read on
the plaster that covers the southern wall to the west a standing male figure
with a short tunic and cornucopia, which can also be interpreted on the
southern portion of the western wall, continuing with the same figurative
scheme. In fact, two partially preserved male figures can be glimpsed and
arranged in different registers, while snake-like motifs are visible on the
sides. The plaster is covered by a subsequent preparation which incorporates a
common ceramic olla (rim diameter 13.5 cm) with everted rim, housed in the wall
and facing outwards (Fig. 3). The kitchen counter (h. 71 cm. length. 133 cm.)
leans against the south and west perimeter walls. It was built in opus incertum
with the north-east corner composed of blocks of yellow tuff of regular
dimensions (24-31 cm. x 9 cm) also used for the plinth.

L’angolo
sud-ovest conserva tracce di un intonaco decorato in cattivo stato di
conservazione che doveva riferirsi alla prima fase decorativa documentabile.
Nonostante lo stato di conservazione non ottimale, è possibile leggere
sull’intonaco che riveste ad ovest la parete meridionale una figura maschile
stante con tunica corta e cornucopia, interpretabile anche la porzione
meridionale della parete occidentale proseguendo con lo stesso schema
figurativo. Si intravedono infatti due figure maschili parzialmente conservate
e disposte su registri diversi, mentre ai lati sono visibili motivi
serpentiformi. L’intonaco è coperto da una preparazione successiva (USR 32) che
ingloba un’olla di ceramica comune (D. orlo 13,5 cm) con orlo estroflesso,
alloggiata nella parete e rivolta verso l'esterno (Fig. 3). Il banco della
cucina (h. 71 cm. lung. 133 cm.) si appoggia ai muri perimetrali sud e ovest. É
costruito in opera incerta con l’angolare nord-est composto da blocchi di tufo
giallo di dimensioni regolari (24-31 cm. x 9 cm) impiegati anche per lo
zoccolo.
