Description:

Located on the west wall of the room leading to the kitchen was a cult painting. This depicted Fortuna on a red background crowned wearing a white tunic and mantle, holding a cornucopia and rudder, while resting upon a globe. Below, a serpent coiled towards her among plants. Above and on the sides of the scene were garlands. Against the wall in front of the painting was a table-like structure, likely used for offerings. As this painting no longer survives, its exact location is uncertain.
