Most Pompeiians lived in multi-story dwellings without kitchens and got their food at thermopolia, essentially taverns with ready-made food and wine. There is a fine fresco and colored plaster lararium - shrine - above the counter at the thermopolium of Lucius Vetutius Placidus.๐Ÿบ 1/ ๐Ÿ“ธ me

This beautifully painted lararium - household shrine - is found in the thermopolium of Lucius Vetutius Placidus. Since most Pompeiians lived in multi-story dwellings without kitchens, these hot food and drink establishments were critical, where citizens could purchase sustenance and consume it there, or take it home. This lararium depicts two Lares - protective spirits of the home (and business, it seems) - pouring wine from rhytons; a veiled Genius (protector of the home) in the middle, sacrificing to the gods and holding a cornucopia, symbol of abundance; the god of trade, Mercury, on the left, holding his caduceus and a bag of coins, which would bring success and abundance to the business; and finally the god Dionysus on the right, also a symbol of abundance in this establishment which served wine. 

Notably, stucco is used to create the small shrine, which is in the shape of a temple, including two Corinthian columns and a pediment. Stucco acanthus vines and volutes appear above the temple, and two painted agatha daemons (which appear as crested snakes) are facing a large egg on an altar, below. 

A 3 kg (6.6 lb) hoard of coins was found in one of the terracotta jars set into the counter, probably the last daily profits of the establishment.
