Description:
Found in the southwest corner of habitation T was a statuette of Bacchus reclining on a sofa. Because of its similarity to other domestic cult statuettes, it is believed that the statue once stood in a shrine within the room that is no longer preserved, likely a niche. The statuette was found on the pavement of the room indicating that it had fallen.
