Abstract
This space’s shape is reminiscent of a large pentagon with an irregular perimeter. It has a roofless courtyard in the central part and is covered with white limestone slabs that are square or rectangular in shape. Only a few traces remain of the pavement on the south and east sides, but the semicircular fountains to the north and the square fountain in the center remain. The center fountain is lined in white marble, with part of the foundational cocciopesto preserved. Its drainage waters had to flow into the drain placed on its southern side. The surviving mosaic floor of the portico shows a motif of two-colored scales.
