IV.2.e Pompeii. Shop.

Linked to IV.2.f. Excavated 1841-3 and 1903.

All the doorways on the northern side of Via Nola, forming Regio IV, have been filled in as a wall to keep the earth bank back from the road.

It is very difficult to find the exact position of these doorways and link them to any site plan.

Liselotte Eschebach has numbered these houses from IV.2.1 to IV.2.7. Our numbering is IV.2.a to IV.2.g, as in CTP IIIA.

According to Liselotte Eschebach, there was a Lararium inside to the left.

She suggested this was Boyce number 70. Boyce simply described a niche in the west wall for the domestic gods.

According to Sogliano, the walls of the workshop were coated with rough plaster, and offered nothing of interest except the niche of the domestic gods in the west wall.

Many items that were discovered in the workshop are listed in NdS, pages 279-80.

Some of these items showing signs of burning from the fire that must have developed here.
