, Fullonica di Veranius Hypsaeus (VI, 2, 31) - Affreschi da un pilastro della fullonica. Pannello con operai al lavoro, uno che spazzola un telo di lana, mentre un altro porta una gabbia di bastoncini disposti a cupola che serve a solforare con fumigazioni le stoffe al fine di sbiancarle. Sulla gabbia è appollaiata una civetta che allude alla dea Atena, protettrice dei lanaiuoli.
