According to Van der Graaff –
“Despite these uncertainties, the majority of the opus incertum tracts surviving in the city walls probably represent post-siege repairs related to the battle and its immediate aftermath. …………………….. The remains at Tower IX point to a large post-Social War reconstruction effort, including the full reconstruction of the building and 20 metres of adjacent western curtain wall.” 
See Van der Graaff, I. (2018). The Fortifications of Pompeii and Ancient Italy. Routledge, (p.114 and Note 20).
