VI.11.3 Pompeii. December 2007. Entrance doorway, looking east.

According to Garcia y Garcia, a bomb fell on this area in 1943, causing some damage.

When the area was first excavated, it was discovered still ruined from antiquity, perhaps from earthquake damage.

According to Jashemski, the garden area (excavated around 1842) occupied an area directly east of the entrance.

After the damaged buildings had been cleared, it was used as a garden.
