Abstract
This room is considered, after the basilica hall, the most regal and eloquent of the late antique residence due to the dynamism and sumptuousness of its architecture. The mosaic floor is divided into different scenes. In the central hall (57a) Hercules’ 12 labors are represented on different registers. In the northern apse (57c) Hercules is accompanied by Dionysus and is taken into Olympus by Zeus. In the north (57b) we see Daphne and Cyparissus transformed, respectively, into laurel and cypress. To the south (57e) the myth of Lycurgus is told as he tries to kill the nymph Ambrosia. She is saved by the intervention Maenads and Dionysus. Continuing east (57f), on the right is either Hesion or Andromeda with Endymion. In the apse facing the entrance (57g) are the Giants, pierced by the arrows of Hercules.
