Room b

Renée Forsell

The narrow corridor opens in the S towards the atrium. Another door opening, leading to room c, the latrina, is located in the S part of the W wall. Originally the corridor led to the kitchen area of the Casa del Torello V 1,7 in the north and was later closed.

The corridor had a lava pesta floor only partly preserved. Along the western wall a water pipe was buried in the floor bed. The lead pipe carried the water from Casa del Torello towards the water distribution box by the impluvium of the atrium.

There were remains of badly preserved plaster on the W wall. Smaller patches were found on the N and E walls.
