VI.12.2 Pompeii. December 2006. Looking north across first garden from rear of tablinum window, towards exedra and rear peristyle.
According to Jashemski, this peristyle was enclosed on all four sides by a portico supported by twenty-eight columns covered with fine white stucco.
These columns were in the process of being repaired at the time of the eruption.
In the middle of the garden was a base of a marble fountain, from which water jetted into a shallow pool.
