68. I.10.12, Taberna, (work)shop (Figs. 2.8, 5.7, 5.162)
Synopsis
Eschebach erroneously suggested that this was a latrina publica., but this shop once did
connect to the latrine in room (31) of the Casa del Menandro (I.10.4) (Fig. 5.162, marked '31b' on
the plan). There was a stair to an upper loft, but no finds, and no evidence for cooking or eating.

69. I.10.13, Popina dei Poppaei, lunch-counter (Figs. 2.8, 5.7, 5.162)
Synopsis
This shop was also once connected to the Casa del Menandro (I.10.4) via a door in the W
wall (Fig. 5.162, marked '33b' on the plan). The front counter was clad in red-painted cocciopesto
and contained two immured jars; at the W end was a built-in HE of stub-type (4). An iron tripod
was found in situ against the S wall, carrying a terracotta pot. Bronze, ceramic, and glass
cooking, serving and eating wares (a cauldron, two jugs, a plate, a shallow bowl, and four bottles)
were also discovered here.
