Garden Description
A. A very small bath was located at the left rear of the atrium in this unusual building. Behind this was a tiny garden with three small triclinia on either side. The couches of these six triclinia were so low and narrow they must have been used as seats similar to the tabernae attached to the house of Julia Felix (II.iv.7). B. Another small garden was found to the rear of the caupona.
