I.9.1 Pompeii. December 2005. Entrance. According to Boyce, on both walls of the vestibule figures of six divinities had been painted. The last refashioning of the façade destroyed two of the figures. On the east wall were Mercury and Hercules, the missing figure Della Corte thought was Bacchus. On the west wall were Minerva and Juno, traces remained of the third figure which Della Corte suggested was Venus Pompeiana. Not. Scavi, 1913, 34. See Della Corte, M., 1965.
