I.3.24 Pompeii. December 2006. Entrance on corner of Vicolo del Menandro. According to Della Corte, on the wall on both sides of the entrance were paintings of Mercury and Hercules. He thought the house belonged to the unknown Capella, because of the graffiti, still partly legible in the 1960’s. On the left of the entrance: L(ucium) Ceium Secundum aed(ilem) Cape lla rog(at) [CIL IV 2993g] Capella va(le) [CIL IV 3200aa] and Note 3 on p.269. See Della Corte, M., 1965.
