Abstract
The use of this room as a second service room is confirmed by the execution of the geometric mosaic. The marginal flounce of the mosaic covering is profiled along the entire perimeter. The central part of the mosaic and a section of the east side are affected by gaps. The decoration appears almost uniformly in black and white, with hints of red or pink in some ornamental background elements. Surrounded by a large black band with six rows, located near the walls followed by a white band, the field is decorated with a pattern of adjacent hexagons with four-pointed black stars of different sizes. The four-pointed stars include a square inside, with a Solomon’s knot in the center. The lack of color and attention to detail in the making of this ornate mosaic make it an oddity compared to the others in the villa.

Alt Text
A three-dimensional model of small, rectangular room made of stone with a geometric-patterned tile mosaic across its floor. The central part of the floor has many tiles missing or destroyed, but the overall quality of the repeated geometry and shapes are still discernable. The stacked stones that the room's walls are made of are completely visible; there are no fresco remnants or other types of wall coverings seen. The 3D model can be freely moved, rotated, and zoomed in and out, allowing the viewer to inspect the object with greater detail and from multiple different angles.
