Abstract
These rooms were used as passage rooms to connect the entrance courtyard and spa rooms. The geometric floor mosaic is has a decorated broken meander frame. Its made from a pattern of ellipses arranged diagonally that alternately create squares and octagons with curvilinear sides. Inside the ovals, with a braid pattern acting as a boundary, there is a red wave pattern framing a floral motif. In the squares there are four colored bands with segmented profiles. In the octagons there are ornamental flowers.
Traces of a fresco painting on the southern and eastern walls can be seen. They are organized in a series of square and rectange rectangular panels there is a rod along which a wavy ribbon appears. In each of the ovals there are isolated figures seen.
