This large room is about 22 meters long and 6 meters wide. The grandeur of the space suggests a public destination. The hall was accessed by two entrances. The southern entrance was for visitors. The eastern entrance was for the Dominus and his family. The floor mosaic is a representation of a chariot race that takes place in the Circus Maximus in Rome. The four factions shown are the factio prasina (green), the russata (red), the albata (white) and the veneta (blue). The story of the race starts in the northern section of the mosaic and moves counterclockwise, including a crash between the green and red chariots and ending with the factio prasina’s win. In addition to the mosaic, this room is the only one to preserve frescoed walls up to almost 3 meters high.
