Regio V - Insula I - Caseggiato a botteghe V,I,1
(Shop Building)

This is a Severan row of shops, to the north of the Laurentine Gate and opposite the Field of the Magna Mater. Staircases at the north end led to the upper floors. The side wall of the southern staircase contains a most curious patchwork of opus vittatum and opus spicatum.



Plan of the building. After SO I.
