G0743 - NUMBERS SURROUNDED BY MONUMENTS (A, B, C, D, E)
- Porticus, east wall, against room 20: numbers in the centre.
To the left: Trajan's column (A).
Above: a lighthouse, presumably of Alexandria (B).
Below: a column (C).
To the right: a lighthouse, presumably a simplified version of the lighthouse of Portus (D).
To the left of Trajan's column (not visible on the photo): a lighthouse, presumably a simplified version of the lighthouse of Portus (E).
G0228 - TRAJAN'S COLUMN (A)
- Porticus, east wall, against room 20. H. 0.33, w. 0.07. In the lower part the text: PVTE[olanus?] | H | HIERON PI | NXIT. An X and two windows on the shaft. Upper part damaged in the early 21st century.
- Calza - Nash 1959, 25: "On the western wall of the porticoed corridor someone called Hieron, of Greek origin, has signed the oldest, perhaps unique, depiction of Trajan's Column in Rome, drawn with great care and precision. The Ostia lighthouse is drawn several times with varying degrees of success and, on the same wall, a careful hand has minutely drawn a kind of small board divided into squares, more or less like our modern game of chess".
- Felletti Maj - Moreno 1967, 62 n. 54.
- Solin 1967, Tav. 57b.
- Langner 2001, nr. 2285.
Interpretation: the interpretation as Trajan's column rests on the base with a door. For the text on the base has been proposed: "Hieron from Puteoli 'painted it' ". Line 1 could also start with PVTES. This line ends with a number, perhaps LXXXX (the height of the column is 29,78 m, or 100 feet). Line 2 seems to have two characters.

G0744 - A LIGHTHOUSE (B)
- Porticus, east wall, against room 20: a lighthouse and the number CXXV top left.
Interpretation: the lighthouse is slender, suggesting that it is the Pharos of Alexandria rather than the lighthouse of Portus.

G0745 - A COLUMN (C)
- Porticus, east wall, against room 20.
Interpretation: a column with a rectangle on top and a band with X's in the lower part.
G0230 - A LIGHTHOUSE (D)
- Porticus, east wall, against room 20.
Interpretation: a wide lighthouse with only a few floors; presumably the lighthouse of Portus.

Interpretation: there seems so be a small s or u before the word read by Solin. Before the r only f or t seems to work.
