II.4.5 Pompeii. December 2004. Shop entrance doorway, looking south. According to Pagano and Prisciandaro, CIL IV 1136 was found in February 1756, between II.4.5 and II.4.6 (on the left), and read – In praedi(i)s Iuliae Sp(uri) f(iliae) Felicis locantur balneum Venerium et nongentum tabernae pergulae cenacula ex Idibus Aug(ustis) primis in Aug(ustas) sextas annos continuos quinque S() Q() D() L() E() N() C() See Pagano, M. and Prisciandaro, R., 2006. Studio sulle provenienze degli oggetti rinvenuti negli scavi borbonici del regno di Napoli Naples : Nicola Longobardi. (p.22). They give a note that says the letters stand for “si quis domi lenocinium exerceat non conducito”. According to Cooley, this translates as – To let, in the estate of Julia Felix, daughter of Spurius: elegant baths for respectable people, shops with upper rooms, and apartments. From the 13th August next to the 13th August of the sixth year, for five continuous years. The lease will expire at the end of the five years. See Cooley, A. and M.G.L., 2004. Pompeii : A Sourcebook. London : Routledge. (p.171) She makes the point “The final phrase is highly abbreviated (with only the initial letter of each word). Its meaning is not certain, but likely from the context”. According to Pagano and Prisciandaro, also found on the same wall were – CIL IV 1137, 1138, 1139, 1140, 1141, 1142, 1143 (see II.4.6) See Pagano, M. and Prisciandaro, R., 2006.
