VII.2.18 Pompeii. March 2009. Rectangular niche of lararium.

According to Boyce, this had been called a lararium but he thought it was most unlike one.

Matz (in Bull.Inst.) thought it may have been a receptacle for the arms of the master of the house.

(See Bull. Inst., 1868, 194).

He reached this conclusion by the painting of a sword in a red sheath found on the yellow stucco of the rear wall.
