IV.2.a Pompeii. Caupona or workshop. Excavated 1841-3.
All the doorways on the northern side of Via Nola, forming Regio IV, have been filled in as a wall to keep the earth bank back from the road.
It is very difficult to find the exact position of these doorways and link them to any site plan.
Liselotte Eschebach has numbered these houses from IV.2.1 to IV.2.7. Our numbering is IV.2.a to IV.2.g, as in CTP IIIA.

According to Liselotte Eschebach, there was a Lararium painting here.
This was a painting of Mercury with cloak, petasos (hat), winged sandals.
In his left he had a caduceus and in his right a marsupium.
In front of the god was an omphalos with a serpent winding around it.
On the right was a high round pillar with a cockerel on top of it.
She suggested this may possibly be F28 identified by Fröhlich as from Regio IV.
