Description:
In the north wall of the peristyle, near the northeast corner, was a large rectangular niche. It sat 0.88m above the ground and its interior was coated in white stucco. On the floor of the niche were two square depressions for statuette bases. The property is not fully excavated and it was damaged in WWII so the location of this shrine is uncertain as it is not preserved today.
