VIII.2.6 Pompeii. Edifici della Pubblica Amministrazione. Sala degli Edili.

Public Administration Buildings. The Office of the Aediles.

Excavated 1814 and 1826.

The above information has been taken from Eschebach: according to CTP, the name-plaque at the entrance gives the appellation “Sala degli Edili”;

our photo below (taken in 2006) gives the name-plaque as “edifici amministrazione pubblica”: according to PAP website – this is described as “the Tabularium, a store with a gap that isolates it from the neighbouring buildings to avoid the risk of fire”.
