East Wall

Thomas Staub

E wall: width: 3.25 m, max. preserved height: 5.00 m. This wall is covered with plaster up to a height of 3.10 m with remains of the decorations, in the northern part the base plaster is visible up to a height of 4.15 m. Besides and above this area, the opus incertum of red cruma is visible, partly reinforced by modern mortar. Unfortunatly this mortar, the covering dirt and moss make a determination of the antique mortar impossible. In the middle of the wall, in 3.35 m height, a window lightens the room. Its inner dimensions are 0.60 x 0.65 m, and narrows towards the street, where it has become nearly oval, 0.15 x 0.30 m. The frames are covered with several layers of base plaster, to the south a standing tile makes up the frame. Above the window, a 1.10 x 0.35 m large Sarno stone block is placed, into which a horizontal line, 0.90 x 0.10 m, depth approx. 0.10 m, has been cut.
