VI.14.19 Pompeii.
May 2005. Looking west
towards VI.14.18 and VI.14.20.
According to
Boyce, in the north wall of the main room (of VI.14.18/19) is a rectangular
niche, set 2.10 m above the floor.
It is set in a
section of the wall coated with a special panel of white stucco bordered with
red stripes.
The inside walls
are coated with the same white stucco.
The floor of the
niche projects slightly from the surface of the wall.
In the centre of it is set a masonry block to serve either as a base for a
statuette or as an altar.
