Door (closed)
Description
Mats Holmlund
The closed door is located circa 2.00 m from the west corner of the south wall. It was circa 0.80 m wide and of indeterminable height. The door was cut through by a repaired breach in the wall. Both doorposts are built in opus testaceum. The left is approximately 0.65 m wide at its widest point and 0.85 m high. The right doorpost is circa 0.65 m wide at its widest point and 1.10 m high. The door corresponds to a similar feature in the north wall of room 1 in taberna V 1,31.
The purpose of the door is unclear, but indicates that taberna V 1,31 and 1,30 at some point in time was part of the same shop and/or workshop. This (former and continued) close relation between the two tabernae is further evidenced by the "second" water conduit in taberna V 1,31 feeding the cistern below the floor in room 1 of taberna V 1,30.
