IX.2.12 Pompeii. Taberna Attiorum 2.

Excavated 1851. (Strada Stabiana 66).

 

According to PPM, IX.2.11/12 and possibly IX.2.13 all belonged to the same complex.

IX.2.11 and IX.2.12 are defined as Tabernae Attiorum, in which the Attii brothers made colours and sold their products.

Between 13th and 16th August 1851 numerous blocks were found, in which were colours, light and dark yellow, red, white and pieces defined as “smalto” blue.

Also found was white pigment, probably with a base of lead stamped with the seal Attiorv, the presence of numerous mortars, pestles, and weights confirmed that in this place the pigments were made as well as sold.

See M. Tuffreau-Libre: Les pots a couleur de Pompei: premiers résultats: Rivista di Studi Pompeiani, 1999, p.63-70.

On p.67, the block of colour with the mark Attiorv is said to be In the Naples Museum, with inventory number 112228.

According to Della Corte, the impression of the seal on its block of pigment, ATTIORV, is numbered as CIL X, 8058,6.

Warscher described this photo as “The internal window which gave light to laboratory “h”.
Fiorelli described the room “h” as a courtyard, so presumably this is a photo from the small room (latrine?), room “i”.

According to Fiorelli, at this point was a painting of two large serpents approaching a niche hollowed out of the wall.
Underneath was the effigy of the altar among luxurious plants.
Above the painting and continuing on the same wall, there remained various electoral programmes.
