Atrium

Description:

On the east wall of the atrium was a cult painting on a white background. The scene featured the Genius holding a cornucopia and pouring a libation onto a blazing altar from a patera. A serpent was coiled around the altar. In the wall above the painting was a niche. The shrine does not survive today, so its exact location is uncertain.
