Floor
Description
Thomas Staub
The floor is made of cocciopesto, with irregularly inserted marble plates. These had different dimensions, between 0.10 x 0.04 m and 0.21 x 0.30 m. The floor is too bad preserved to allow for any reconstruction of its decorative scheme. The floor is laid out above a hypocaust system, which is visible through the opening on the N wall of culina l. The pillars bearing up the floor are round terracotta drums with a hole on one side, and with square bottoms and tops. The floor abuts against the tegolae mammatae, but runs under the plaster covering these.
