VI.9.2 Pompeii. March 2009. Peristyle 16, looking east across pool. 

 

VI.9.2 Pompeii. September 2004. Peristyle 16, fountain and pool, looking west. According to Jashemski, the large and elaborate pool had its interior painted blue. The interior walls were bordered with alternate rectangular and semicircular recesses. A column in the centre of the pool supported a round table, from which water jetted and fell into the pool. There is a small pool with a marble rim at the east end, together with a small basin adjacent to the large pool on the west side. The small basin may have been used for storing the fish while the pool was cleaned, or perhaps for cooling drinks. See Jashemski, W. F., 1993. The Gardens of Pompeii, Volume II: Appendices. New York: Caratzas. (p.137-38)
