Abstract
This mosaic is partially intact, with large gaps that interrupt the design on the eastern side and in a central strip. It is a polychrome geometric design, with a frame made up from a series of recurring tuning forks. The marginal flounce is arranged with different measures to connect to the irregular walls. The complexity of the compositional scheme unfolds in a field with large eight-pointed stars, which create a series of rhombuses from which squares result. A 2-ply braid decorates these stars, and inside the octagons are bordered by a double thread and decorated with elements like a wavy ribbon crown and a flower or rose. The pattern with two secant squares, octagons and rhombuses can be seen in another room of the villa, the Chapel of the Lares (19a).
