These are Grondaia or rainwater spouts that fed rainwater from the Compluvium in the roof to the Impluvium below.   These were reconstructed and displayed during the 19th century in VII.4.15/16 before the Antiquarium was opened. Mau says they were originally from a House near the Porta Marina,  The plan provided by Mau can be used to identify the house as VII.16.12/15 the House of Umbricius Scaurus.
