![IX.13.6 Pompeii. December 2005. Entrance on Via dell’Abbondanza.
According to Della Corte, in this workshop carrying on an unknown industry or trade was a certain Sex. Ceius. Found on the east (right) of the entrance was an electoral recommendation –
Sex. Ceius f(acit) [CIL IV 7974]
And also on the same wall –
[Sex. Cei fr- (or indeed) p]ater fac [CIL IV 7973 with a note that said “if however the fragment was “ator” perhaps it expressed the profession of Ceio”.
According to Epigraphik-Datenbank Clauss/Slaby (See www.manfredclauss.de), these read as –
]ator fac(it) [CIL IV 7973]

IX.13.6 Pompeii. December 2005. East corner of insula.
On this corner used to stand an amphora with its top half removed (Amphora Urinaria).
This was to receive the urine of passers-by for the use of the fullers or fullones.
According to Della Corte, found immediately at the turn into the eastern vicolo at the corner of the insula, was a terracotta amphora.
This had been conserved in situ from the time of excavation, (the end of April 1913).
It had been restored from broken pieces but found with a broken rim since antiquity. This was an example of a (Urinarium) gastrum.
It would have been placed there by the fuller Fabius Ululitremulus, to collect the urine of passer’s by for his industry’s use.
The urine was used as a bleach as part of the cleaning process.
