VI.7.19 Pompeii. May 2006. Entrance.

According to Della Corte, living in this house would have been a certain Fabius Tyrannus.

He thought this was proved by the two recommendations written on the left of the doorway which were –

 

Fabius rog(at)    [CIL IV 217]

 

(Fabius) Tyrannus rog(at)    [CIL IV 224]

 

On the right side of the doorway was found  –

(Fabius) Tyrannus cupiens fecit cum Sodales (sic)    [CIL IV 221]
