Description:
Located on the west wall of the garden was a stone podium which is believed to have been the base of an aedicula shrine. The podium was covered in marble slabs. It was separated off from the rest of the garden by a shallow canal that was delimited by marble pavement. Decoration on the podium has been preserved with a painted peacock visible. The property is not fully excavated so the wider context of the shrine is uncertain.
