Presentation :

Bird’s-eye view of the stores at Vasio (Vaison-la-Romaine). The drawing is in landscape format and has no frame. Inscriptions appear on the reverse.
The scene is seen from the second floor of a building. People are walking along a cobblestone path. They are sometimes loaded with bundles, sometimes depicted carrying goods, on mules or in carts. Below, on the left of the drawing, the stores are sheltered under a portico. Numerous figures come to collect foodstuffs, which they store in amphorae or baskets.
