VI.1.1 Pompeii. Entrance. Photographed 1970-79 by Günther Einhorn, picture courtesy of his son Ralf Einhorn. According to Garcia y Garcia, this inn, sheltered by the city walls and with a beautiful well-preserved sacellum, was hit by a bomb during the night of 14th to 15th September 1943. It was nearly completely destroyed, even its perimeter wall. The dividing wall to the peristyle of the House of the Vestals also fell. By September 1982, the entrance steps and its internal walls were reduced to a ruined pile. To the west of this house, the same bomb destroyed also part of the beautiful Samnite steps, that permitted access to the public wall. At the foot of it, in the public area, was a well-known well. See Garcia y Garcia, L., 2006. Danni di guerra a Pompei. Rome: L’Erma di Bretschneider. (p.66)

VI.1.1 Pompeii. December 2007. Looking north towards triclinium (under blue sheeting) from VI.1.4. According to Jashemski, the small inn (excavated in 1787) just inside the Porta Ercolano had a garden with a masonry triclinium shaded by a vine-covered pergola. The holes in the rear wall, in which the ends of the beams of the pergola were set, were visible at the time of excavation. A gutter along the south edge of the garden collected rain water which was deposited in the cistern opening in the south-west corner of the garden. See Jashemski, W. F., 1993. The Gardens of Pompeii, Volume II: Appendices. New York: Caratzas. (p.119). According to Fiorelli, the triclinium had three couches of brick, and the walls were in part adorned by pictures.
