Sketch of the painted
lararium that was found on the north wall, but no longer visible.
A genius stood to the
right of a blazing round altar. A
very small tibicen was to the left of the altar.
A tall wreathed Lar,
dressed in blue tunic, red Pallium and high boots stood on each side.
Each Lar was pouring
wine from a rhyton to a situla, Garlands and bushes were also in the scene.
In the lower part two
huge serpents, in a background of plants, confronted a round altar which had
offerings.
