VII.14.5 Pompeii. March 2009. Aedicula lararium in south-west corner of atrium.

According to Boyce, above a solid podium one column and two half columns applied to the south and west walls supported a roof.

This formed a kind of niche, the ceiling of which was vaulted.

The inside walls were painted red like those of the room.
