V.2.i Pompeii. December 2007. Room 9, remaining corner of a wall painting on west wall. According to Mau, on the west wall only the lower corner was conserved.  He recognised that near to the right margin was the foot of a large chair. To the left of this chair, possibly a sceptre and below, an eagle.
He thought, without doubt, this would have been Giove. See Mau, A., 1893. Mitteilungen des Kaiserlich Deutschen Archaeologischen Instituts, Roemische Abtheilung Volume VIII. (p.46)
Sogliano thought, in NdS, that the remaining fragment of this painting on the west wall would have represented the child Hercules strangling the serpents in the presence of Zeus. 
See Notizie degli Scavi, 1896, (p.427)
