The 1st register depicts the departure for hunting and the pursuit of a fox. The 2nd shows the transport of a captured wild boar, and a scene of sacrifice and offering to Diana. The 3rd register depicts an open-air banquet under a large red tent and 2 hunters with falcons. The 4th register shows a breakfast scene flanked by depictions of a fox chased by the dog and the capture of a hare. The 5th register displays a deer hunt with nets.

Alt Text

A three-dimensional model of rectangle-shaped room made of stone with a tile mosaic floor and remnants of red fresco paintings on its walls. Damage to the floor is minimal, allowing for a clear view of the scene depicted by the mosaic tiles, which feature many humanoid and animal figures, as well as multiple types of flora. A wide opening flanked by two decorative columns at the room's southern wall serves as its entrance. 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.
