Abstract
This space, accessed from the vestibule, connects all the rooms of the villa through a colonnaded peristyle overlooking an open-air center courtyard. The well-preserved mosaics have a polychrome geometric design, enclosed within a broken meander frame. The mosaic decoration of the floor runs along the entire room in a band of squares defined by a motif of intertwined ribbons with wild animals seen enclosed in wreaths of laurel leaves. The ends of the squares are decorated with birds and ivy. The direction of the protomes is not uniform along the wide corridor, indicating two paths.
