Domus dei Pesci
The domus (house) was installed in an earlier residence with a porticoed courtyard and had two main construction phases, the last of which can be dated to the 3rd century AD.
The domus is currently accessed through the original service entrance (A), which leads into a porticoed courtyard (B) adorned with three fountains of different periods.
The reception room (C) had two columns at the entrance and faced onto the courtyard; it had an inlaid marble floor with a variety of geometrical motifs.
On the opposite side of the courtyard was another luxurious room (D), also embellished with a marble floor.
The north sector was occupied by the vestibule (E), with a mosaic floor depicting a cup and some fish (interpreted by some scholars as Christian symbols), a heated room (F), a cistern (G) and a praefurnium (room for heating water) (H).
