VII.10.6 Pompeii.
December 2005. Looking east across shop towards doorway to rear room.
In the north-east
corner of the shop-room (on left) can be seen the remains of the base of steps
to upper floor.
According to Amoroso,
the floor of the shop was simple cocciopesto, whereas the rear room’s floor was
the same flooring made with scattered polychrome pieces, similar to the adjacent
atrium (of VII.10.5), of which this room had once been part.
The walls of the two
rooms were plastered with plaster without colour.
