Description:

In the north wall of the kitchen was a square niche. The niche sat 1.50m above the floor and had a projecting tile base. On the wall around the niche were traces of a cult painting. In the centre was the Genius pouring a libation from a patera onto an altar with a tibicen standing behind him. On each side stood the Lares, carrying rhyton and patera. The shrine is in a bad state of preservation today.
