Description:

|
A wall fresco in two bands or registers, from the Casa di Championnet II (VIII.2.3-5), Pompeii. The lower register has snakes which are actually representations of agathodaemons, or agathos daemons, spirits of the vineyard and grainfields; they flank an altar where eggs have been left for them. Above, a family makes sacrifices at an altar, flanked by Lares (guardian deities). These would be Lares Familiares, protecting the specific family. They hold a rhyton (drinking horn) and hold a small libation bucket. The fresco would have formed a lararium, a household shrine.
