Abstract
This rectangular room was a part of a private apartment that was used by the Dominus or by his guests. There are scarce traces of the original polychrome mosaic that more than likely represented a figurative theme instead of a geometric design. The marginal cliff, interrupted by a partition made in the Arab-Norman age, is made up of small pebbles and gray mortar and retains a small number of tesserae on the slope of the east wall.

Alt Text
A three-dimensional model of a rectangular, stone room with no ceiling or roof visible. The floor of the room is mostly smooth, though some larger stones are seen in a few places across its surface. Remnants of a detailed mosaic can be seen on the surface of two large stones that are seen in the center of the room, with tiles in red, brown, and black. There are entryways on two sides of the room, and the flooring that extends outward from one of them also has part of a tile mosaic visible, this one depicting a knotwork pattern. 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.
