This octagon-shaped space is located between the walls of the eastern aqueduct and the east wall of the apsidal hall (41). Its proximity to the south main apartment and the triclinium (57) suggests that it was usually used by the dominus and his family, and by guests on special occasions such as banquets.A sewer, located just over a meter from the entrance, was used for the disposal of water. A well-kept water supply system also reached the basin placed at the foot of the wall located to the right of the door. It is decorated with bas-reliefs of acanthus leaves and inlays with a plant motif. The floor mosaic depicts a succession of white mosaic tiles outlines on a dark field. The shape of a large podded kantharos is en. The shoots open symmetrically across the floor’s surface.
