V.2.13 Pompeii. March
2009. Kitchen with hearth in north-west corner.
According to Boyce,
above the hearth was a badly preserved lararium painting.
The Genius was
represented sacrificing at an altar.
On each side stood a
Lar, but only the one on the right was preserved.
Further to the right
a serpent approached an altar.
The description was
from Sogliano published in 1879.
Reports in
periodicals published in 1894 and 1896 mention only an altar as being visible
in a painting.
Today, nothing
remains. (Note Boyce describes this hearth as being in the south-west corner).
