Abstract
This lively mosaic is divided into 3 registers, and is bordered by a crenellated dentello motif with florons. In the upper register, a boy strikes a hare with a venabulum. A second child stretches a hand forward. In the middle register, the children appear to be attacked by a rat and a rooster and are seeking help. In the lower register the hunting theme is resumed with a child hunting a peacock. The alcove mosaic is also in 3 registers. The first register shows 2 girls, possibly coronariae, picking flowers to place in wicker baskets. The second register shows a noble woman holding the ribbon of a woven wreath in her left hand while she picks up a flower from a basket. A young girl also holds up a basket of flowers. The last register shows a boy carrying 2 baskets of roses on his shoulders.

Alt Text
A three-dimensional model of a long, rectangular room with a slightly narrower alcove area attached at the back. An intricate and extensive tile mosaic is spread across the entirety of the floor of the room and its alcove, divided into six distinct sections. Remnants of brightly-colored fresco paintings can be seen on every wall. 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.
