HGW24 Pompeii. May 2010. Room in south-west corner of garden area.
According to Garcia y Garcia, a bomb was dropped here during the night of 18th September 1943.
This bomb fell on the south-west corner of the peristyle causing the destruction of part of the wall south of the turret and the collapse of the rear slope.
It was restored in 1946.
See Garcia y Garcia, L., 2006. Danni di guerra a Pompei. Rome: L’Erma di Bretschneider. (p.160-1)
According to Boyce, a small room opened off the south-west corner of the large portico surrounding the garden.
This room had a semi-circular niche in the east wall. The room was called a lararium in the reports.

In the cellar below the west portico of the garden, nos. 81 and 82 from the La Vega plan were found at this end of it, towards the south-west corner.
However, there appear to be two no.81’s shown on the plan.
This no.81 would seem to be from 9th December 1773, and from the west side of the cellar below the garden area, and said –
From PAH, addendum, p.131 –
Relazione delle antichita, che si
vanno ritrovando nella masseria del sig. D. Giovanni Milano parsonaro, che si
era principiata al di 14 Febbraro 1771. (Report of Antiquities found.....)
“No.81. nella
stessa date. Si e ritrovata una sciva di bronzo, e tra la terra levata di quel
sito si sono trovate tre monete, due di diam. on.1, e l’altra di min. 3 e
mezza, che per la ruggine non si distinguono. Un pezzo di sciva, il tutto di
bronzo. Ed un bottone di vetro.”
(No.79 was dated 9th December 1773 and
no.80 (as no.81) was said to be from the same date).
(The other no.81, shown on PAH addendum, p.160 – dated 25th June 1774 would seem to fit in with the dates when the surrounding rooms to it were excavated – but no further details are shown. It was from the corridor at the south end of the east portico of the garden area).
From PAH 1,1, p.276, 8th January 1774:
addendum p.131 and p.159
In the present week, we have worked in the cellar of the dwelling outside the Gate of the city.
