IX.5.11 Pompeii. December 2007. Peristyle n, garden area with triclinium, looking towards south-east corner.
According to Jashemski, the garden had a portico on the north and west.
This was supported by four columns painted black below, white above and joined by a low wall.
Most of the garden was occupied by a masonry triclinium.
Mau believed the extension, visible on the left of the photo, was a seat for children.
On the south garden wall was a large animal painting, totally destroyed.

“Ubicazione:
giardino. L. medius, m.410; l. imus, m.3.86; l. summus,
m.3.12; diametro della mensa, m.0.90; lunghezza della panca, m.1.05; larghezza

Occupa tutta l’area
di un piccolo giardino con, su due lati, un portichetto composto di cinque colonne,
tre sul lato meridionale e due sul lato occidentale, e con gli intercolunni
chiusi da un basso pluteo.
Nessuno dei tre
letti, a piano inclinato, era addossato a muri.
La mensa,
circolare, ha intorno alla base sei nicchiette absidate. Sul prolungamento del l.
imus v’era una piccola panca rettangolare che era poco piu basso dei tre
letti; serviva per sgabello ai bambini che dovevano consumare i pasti stando
seduti e non sdraiati. Sotto questo podio c’era una nicchietta rettangolare, e
a destra una vaschetta quadrata formata con grosse pietra vesuviane. Davanti al
l. summus, infine, era situata una base a sezione quadrata,
Le pareti del giardino
sono rivestite d’intonaco rosso, e lungo le pareti verticali del l. imus
si nota qualche traccia di intonaco d’incerta colore.
