Description:
Found in the rubble of the collapsed upper floor was a statuette base with a lower limb belonging to a cult statuette of Mercury. A winged sandal could be seen on the foot of the statuette. This would have been located in the room directly above the entrance to the villa, with Pérez Ruiz suggesting that it was situated in a wooden shrine on the first floor.
