According to Boyce –
Maiuri reports on the west wall of another room off the small atrium (a room destinato a repositorium ed apotheca) was a lararium painting (0.70 by 0.75), coarse in technique and striking for the bright colours used for the garments of the Lares and the ornaments – red, yellow and green.
See Boyce G. K., 1937. Corpus of the Lararia of Pompeii.
Rome: MAAR 14. (p.28, no.53F).
The lararium had a painting with garlands, possibly two Lares and a Genius and Camillus group.

According to Ling –
This would have been the doorway to room 43 on the plan, and the skeleton of a man was found here.
Both Maiuri and Della Corte suggested that this skeleton might have been the freedman Q. Poppaeus Eros, and he was the bailiff or estate manager employed by the owner of the Casa del Menandro. Numerous amphorae and agricultural implements were found here.

According to Jashemski the very large number of agricultural tools found in the atrium and cubiculum would indicate that the labourers lodged in the servants’ quarters and went out during the day to work the owner’s fields, which lay outside the city walls.
