Room function:

Peristyle/Portico

Description:

Within the peristyle, although likely not in situ, was a stone altar. The altar was photographed by Warsher in the 1930s, which showed a relief on one side of the altar. This depicted a bulls head with a flower garland adorning it. Only one side of the altar was photographed and so it is uncertain if the other sides also possesed depictions.
