    General description

    Like statio 23 this statio is understood to have an east-west orientation, the front room being at the intersection of the north and west porticus, with the back room to the west. The floor of the back room has not been preserved. The photographic documentation is not sufficient for a good description of the floor of the front room, inspection in situ is needed. In the south part of the passage to statio 38 is a wide band of white marble. It is not in the centre of the passage, but moved to the west. In the north part two black rectangles and two black bands seem visible.

    Text

    No text has been preserved.

    Depictions

    Paribeni saw a depiction of a knife with a curved blade to cut leather. This cannot be verified with a drawing or photo.


    Masonry

    The rear wall of the back room is of opus reticulatum, the north wall of opus vittatum mixtum B. There is no south wall. The north wall of the front room is of opus vittatum mixtum B with a door. In the south-east corner is a brick pier instead of a brick column.


    Interpretation

    The state of preservation allows no further interpretation.
