The Follonica of Stephanus (also called Fullery of Stephanus) is one of the most important and complete laundries found in Pompeii where manufactured cloth was washed and stain removed. Stephanus' laundry was built just after the earthquake of 62 CE, transforming a private house into a modern factory. At the centre of the atrium of the ancient domus, the impluvium was converted into a tub for washing.
