On the south wall of the corridor leading to the latrine was a painting of Fortuna. She was depicted holding a cornucopia and a rudder, with her feet lying on a green globe. To the left of her was a naked man with writing above his head referrencing the need for caution using the latrine. A serpent could be seen on either side of him, as if he was the altar instead.
