Hi Sally
No, they are felt makers! Look for the Verecundus shop sign. eg Michael Grants Pompeii book page 93.
Also mentioned in Wild 'Textile Manufacture in the Northern Roman Provinces' although that is harder to get.
However as I said I will have references and illustrations of Roman fullers and felt makers in my next book.
