Abstract
This room is accessed from the quadrangular peristyle (19d) through an opening to the south. The presence of masonry benches, which run along the walls, also explains its use as a vestibule-waiting room, or as an apodyterium. In the white field of the mosaic, framed by a simple black band, 5 figures are represented side by side: they are the Domina - the mistress of the house - her 2 children and 2 maids. The Domina wears a long dress and her hair is gathered in a helmet-like hairstyle. Next to her there are two young men with long hair wearing tunics. At the edges of the group are the two handmaids: one on the left, with a long dress with wide sleeves holding a box, and one on the right, wearing a yellow-golden tunic with red and black bands while carrying a red shoulder bag.

Alt Text
A three-dimensional model of small, stone room with an irregular, trapezoidal shape. Two small sets of stairs lead down to the room's main floor from left and right walls, while a third set of stairs leads from this floor down through an archway that leads even further down. This final set of steps appears to have once been covered in grey and white marble, and a tile mosaic of five human figures adorns the small room's floor. 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.
