Structural type:

Aediucla

Room function:

Atrium

Description:

In the northeast corner of the atrium (at the entrance of #13) stood a brick podium. The podium was referred to as an altar for sacrifices by one scholar but was also referred to as a base for a lararium by another. It is more likely to have been a podium for an aedicula. The houe is not fully mapped and so the wider context of the shrine within the property is uncertain.
