The basilica is considered the most important place of public use, used for where the dominus held his functions.
The hall (58a) is made up of partially preserved polychrome marble slabs spread over 7 bands with an east-west orientation. The marbles come from multiple Mediterranean regions. They contain squares and rectangles of different sizes. In the center of the room, a square, with concentric circles placed inside, breaks the regularity of the pattern.
In the apse (58b) a larger square is visible with 4 circles placed in its corners. The rest of the mosaic has an irregular decorative motif, but in front of the throne there is a circular inlay. This is assumed to host a porphyry rota, but only parts of the concentric frames decorated with a wavy branch motif and lilies remain.
