According to Warscher, quoting Fiorelli, she wrote – “I.2.15, una casa che apparteneva a persona di umile condizione e che ricorda la casa primitiva di Pompei: consiste dell’atrio “a”, due cubicoli e di una fauce che menava alla cucina, alla stalla, ad’una apotheca, alla latrina, ed a una gradinata di fabbrica per le stanze superiori”.
See Warscher T., 1935. Codex Topographicus Pompeianus: Regio I.2. Rome: DAIR.
