Linked to VI.5.13. Excavated 1808, 1836.

 

According to Fiorelli.

VI.5.12 – “Svoldendo il canto dell’isola, incontrasi innanzi tutto un termopolio, che ha il banco per la vendita con gradini e fornello, ed una porta per cui entrasi nell’atrio della casa seguente.”

See Fiorelli, G: Descrizione di Pompei, (p.99).

See Pappalardo, U., 2001. La Descrizione di Pompei per Giuseppe Fiorelli (1875). Napoli: Massa Editore, (p.54).

(Translation - “Following on from the corner of the insula, we meet again a thermopolium (bar), that had a sales-bench with steps (used as display-shelving) and stove, and a doorway by which you could enter into the atrium of the house next-door.”)
