Abstract
The floor of this private latrine is formed by rectangular or scaled polychrome mosaic tiles. In the center of the mosaic moving counterclockwise is imagery depicting a donkey, a hare, two birds, and a cat. The rendering of the profiles of animals and shadows, often drawn with a curved line, recurs in form and style in other mosaics in the rooms of the villa. The original walls are preserved up to 2.4 meters high. On the west wall there is a rectangular masonry basin covered with grey marble. These occupied the curved side of the space and that of the adjacent walls. The waste waters, to which were added those coming from the garden of the peristyle, flowed into the sewer beneath.
