II.7.8 Pompeii. Palaestra. December 2006. Looking east along north portico towards north-east corner.
According to Maiuri – 
“The only wall of the portico that, at the moment of the eruption, preserved its pictorial decoration, was the wall of the north portico, the one which, however, was found completely fallen, other than the last short stretch of just over 14 metres at the far north-east corner.
On the other two long walls of the west and south porticos, and the wall on the east side, nothing was seen other than a minimum trace of decoration.”
