This mosaic spans across the hallway and is almost entirely preserved. Bordered by a double plastic meander frame, a marine thiaus similar to that of the Frigidarium is seen. The marine procession depicts Ittiocentaurs, Tritons, Nereids, and a variety of aquatic and terrestrial animals. In the center of the mosaic, the figure of Arion stands out, playing a heptachord zither while riding a dolphin. Above him, 2 cherubs in flight take up the drapery of a nymph lying on the rocks listening to music. Other mythical beings can be seen in the waters of this large painting, depicted with waves marked by straight or zigzag lines. In the apse area, there is a monumental figure of Ocean, father of all waters, surrounded by a rich marine fauna.
