Description:

Near the southwest corner of the peristyle garden was a rectangular masonry altar. The altar was coated in stucco. Traces of fire were found on top of the altar during excavation. Root cavities nearby indicate the presence of trees in the immediate vicinity. The property was largely destroyed in WWII, with the altar no longer preserved today.
