Description:

Against the west wall of the peristyle stood a masonry aedicula shrine. The structure sat on a solid podium with two walls forming a rectangular niche with a gable roof on top with a simple pediment.

In the floor was an embedded piece of black marble in which was cut a rectangular square hole as if to hold the pivot of a door at the front of the shrine.
