Description:
At the northeast end of a corridor stood an aedicula shrine. Only the podium and lower portion of the upper section have been preserved. The podium was rectangular in shape and was painted in Pompeian fourth style on three of its sides. This painted decoration consisted of imitation marble, conducted in black, green, and ochre. Above the podium was the upper section which would have been an arched masonry niche. The interior of the niche was painted ochre, with green on the flanks. The property is not fully excavated so the full context of the shrine is not certain.
