DescriptionNE corner of wall is vitatum and then becomes reticulatum. The vitatum section is better preserved on bottom; the top half is rough on corner. The reticulate is difficulat to make out because of mud. Many of the bricks/cubiliae are chipped. Top of reticulate wall is fairly smooth, the vitatum section is chipped away at top.
