Window
Description
Thomas Staub
In 3.05 m height, in the middle of the east wall, a window, 1.30 m wide and 1.10 m high, opens up towards to the side street, Vicolo di Caecilius Iucundus. Its measurements diminish towards the outside, where it is 0.75 x 0.65 m large. At the south corner of the window, the earlier plaster was pecked for the application of a new layer of plaster.
In the north east corner of this room, parts of a later blocked window can be observed in same height. The north wall of the room reaches into the opening, which was, as it seems, never totally filled in, as the plaster covering the north wall reaches into the thus created niche. In both, the still open window and the niche from the blocked one, remains of the volcanic downfall from AD 79 are still attached to the corners.
