Description:

Within the main commercial space was a cult painting. This was carried out on a white background and featured the Genius, with a cornucopia and patera, and a tibicen. Behind the Genius stood a rooster. On each side of the group stood a Lar, holding a rhyton and situla. In the lower zone, two serpents could be seen meeting at an altar furnished with offerings. The property is now part of the modern restaurant and is not preserved.
