Description:
During excavation in the 1930s, an altar and two arulae were found attached to a wall of a room. The larger limestone altar was 0.35 h by 0.20 w by 0.09 d, possessing an unreadable inscription on its front face. One of the smaller arulae measured 0.11 h by 0.04 w by 0.01 d and possessed a partial inscription on the front face which is argued to have been dedicated to Neptune. The remaining arula was larger, being 0.20 h by 0.13 w by 0.12 d, and possessed an inscription dedicated to the Matres. The exact location of this cult space is uncertain.
