Description:

Located in the northwest corner of the atrium was a cult space. Today, only the masonry podium survives, which Boyce noted "looks like the base of an aedicula." The base of the structure was very large, and covered in red painted plaster. The cult space is located beside the entrance to I. iii. 4 which was used as a shop.
