Rome
located 8 meters below current ground level, this was
uncovered in 1865-66, during one of the several 19th
century excavations performed to recover works of
art in the area in front of Piazza S.Crisogono,
which has now disappeared in the most recent replanting
of the neighborhood.
The use
of the rooms uncovered became immediately apparent right
from the start of the excavation, given the large quantity
of graffiti on the walls, repeatedly mentioning
the Seventh Cohort of Vigiles. (Firemen)
It was
therefore possible to identify the building as
an excubitorium, or guard-house, which
came into being towards the end of the 2nd century AD
on the premises of a private house bought or rented
by the public authorities. The monument consists
of a large hall containing a hexagonal pool
with concave sides in the middle.
In front
of this, on the south wall, is an elegant arched
door which leads into the lararium, a kind of
shrine to the guardian spirit of the vigiles,
the Genius excubitorii, mentioned in graffiti
which has now disappeared.
