Description:
Found on the floor of a room with an apsidal head were the fragments of a limestone altar. Across the front face of the altar was a dedication to Fortuna. The room had bichrome mosaic flooring, leading to it being considered a triclinium. Also found in the room were ceramic remains, steles, fibulae, and statue fragments. Based on the shape of the room and its contents, it is possible that this room was a cult room but as it has been destroyed this remains uncertain.
