I.10.3 Pompeii. December 2006. Niche on east wall of fauces. Fröhlich described a painted round altar, small snake, two Lares and an inscription “Felix aeris IV as, Florus X”. See Fröhlich, T., 1991, Lararien und Fassadenbilder in den Vesuvstädten. Mainz: von Zabern. (L13 p.255). Varone refers to the inscription as painted in red on a small aedicule located in the vestibulum. “Felix aeris as(sibus) IV, Florus X”. According to Varone, CIL IV 7339 is translated as “Felix for four asses, Florus for ten”. See Varone, A., 2001, Erotica Pompeiana: Love Inscriptions on the Walls of Pompeii. Rome: L’ Erma di Bretschneider. (p.154). See Varone, A. and Stefani, G., 2009. Titulorum Pictorum Pompeianorum, Rome: L’erma di Bretschneider (p.120 for a drawing of the graffito, which Varone and Stefani say is no longer conserved).

A marble slab formed its floor. Above the painted round altar in crude red letters was the graffito CIL IV 7339. Beneath the slab of marble which formed the floor of the niche was scratched; LARES AVGVSTOS. [CIL IV 8282 – Lares Augustos] Not. Scavi, 1934, 271 and fig.5. See Boyce G. K., 1937.
