Abstract
Located on the western side of the quadrangular peristyle (19d), this room has a rectangular plan with a stone threshold entrance. The floor layer, dating back to the construction phase of the villa, highlights its service function through its geometric mosaic. The introduction of the medieval system interrupts the uniformity of the floor. The mosaic is bordered by a marginal flounce and develops a broken Greek frame. The field contains an octagon pattern adjacent to crosses, on the sides with full thread, and an elongated hexagon pattern, on the sides with serrated thread. The geometric decorations are made with different dimensions. The frames of the crosses containing braids, on the north side, are incomplete. The attention to the design of the mosaics confirms the destination as a service environment.
