_venereum_ is the peculiar feature of this house. The skeleton of a
young female, with four rings on one of her fingers, was discovered as
if just in the act of escaping; five gold bracelets, two ear-rings, and
thirty-two pieces of money were lying near her. The skeletons of three
other females, probably slaves, were found near her. The doorway of the
_Prothyrum_ was very broad, and was closed with a _quadrivalve_ door,
folding back like our shutters.
