HGW24 Pompeii. May 2010. Room in south-west corner of garden area.
According to Garcia y Garcia, a bomb was dropped here during the night of 18th September 1943.
This bomb fell on the south-west corner of the peristyle causing the destruction of part of the wall south of the turret and the collapse of the rear slope.
It was restored in 1946.
See Garcia y Garcia, L., 2006. Danni di guerra a Pompei. Rome: L’Erma di Bretschneider. (p.160-1)

This room had a semi-circular niche in the east wall. The room was called a lararium in the reports.

(No.79 was dated 9th December 1773 and no.80 (as no.81) was said to be from the same date).
(The other no.81, shown on PAH addendum, p.160 – dated 25th June 1774 would seem to fit in with the dates when the surrounding rooms to it were excavated – but no further details are shown. It was from the corridor at the south end of the east portico of the garden area).
