While 7394 outwardly appears to be a column base, it also appears to be a relatively late feature and accordingly out of place. Considering it is built atop the tufo block floor 7337 and abutting the seemingly relatively late (within this room at least) opus reticulatum wall 7374, it would seem odd for a column of such a diameter to be built in a time when generally large open public spaces were being subdivided and chopped up into smaller areas by walls like 7374. In this interpretation, the massive column would have been one of the latest still-extant features in H-15. While not impossible, the column interpretation is not overly convincing, unless the interpretation that 7394 abuts 7374 is incorrect. If this were the case the column could then belong to a much earlier phase where a massive column in a then-public space would make significantly more sense. As is, assuming the notion of the cylindrical structure abutting 7374 is correct, it seems most probable that either it is not in fact a column or a very short section of one moved into a small enclosed room for some other purpose (coffee table?). Perhaps deceptively cylindrical, and in fact a degraded stub of wall once connected to the similarly wide concrete feature (crying out for an SU number) immediately underlying ashlar block 7396 on the westernmost extremity of H-15. This hypothetical wall is also perfectly aligned with the much lower, heavily degraded blocks 7381, suggesting a division along this axis which may have existed for several phases of occupation. This seems the most plausible interpretation.
