VI.16.40 Pompeii. May 2005. Looking south-east from entrance doorway towards corridor on south side. According to Boyce, in the room reached by the corridor leading from the bar-room, was a lararium painting. It was on a large panel on the west wall bordered with broad stripes, yellow at the sides, red at the top. Within were painted two serpents confronted at a cylindrical altar. The serpents were of a brownish colour and each had a red crest and beard, both larger on the one on the right. The altar was tiny in comparison with the serpents, and was painted in imitation of red and yellow marble. On the top of the altar were two eggs and a pine cone. Below the painted altar, a tile was embedded in the wall to hold the offerings. The background was profusely adorned with green plants and red flowers. Across the top of the panel was stretched a triple festoon, upon the middle of which perched a bird. Not. Scavi, 1908, 370. See Boyce G. K., 1937. Corpus of the Lararia of Pompeii. Rome: MAAR 14. (p.59, no.230, and Pl.27,1) See Fröhlich, T., 1991. Lararien und Fassadenbilder in den Vesuvstädten. Mainz: von Zabern. (L77, Picture 9,2 from the west and north walls) .
