Sacrarium/Cult Room
Features:
Mosaic
Description:
An enclosed space within room C (a portico/courtyard) acted as a cult room. This cult room had a quadrangular plan, with only its back and side wall preserved. The seperation of this space from the larger room is seen through the differing floor types. The floor of the cult room was seperated from the larger room by a line of black tessare. Within the room the mosaic flooring featured central rossettes with four black petals. This cult room is the only room in the house with mosaic flooring.
