Herculaneum Ins. Or. II.12. Entrance hallway, linked to number 11.

Maiuri wrote that doorway numbered 12 was an entrance hall connecting to shops numbered 11 and 13.

Guidobaldi wrote that this was a shop, with dwelling house.

According to the tourist guide plan, the two doorways on the north side of this hallway are entrances into two small rooms on the north side.

The doorway in the south wall does link into the shop at number 11.
