Sacrarium/Cult Room
Features:
Unknown
Description:
A room off the south side of the peristyle may have been used as a cult room. The room had a rectangular plan and was open on its northern side with two columns at this entrance. Within the room was found a small alabaster statue of Mercury, with only the torso preserved. Due to the statue, the location, and the size of the room, Pérez Ruiz believes that it was likely that further cult features would have been present in this room but have not been preserved.
