This wealthy domus (residence) was constructed in the second half of the 4^th century AD, in an area previously occupied by two building complexes of the early 2^nd century AD.

It was entered through a courtyard (A), which provided light to the residence, embellished with a marble nymphaeum decorated with niches.

Opening onto the courtyard through a tripartite aperture was a huge room (B) decorated on the floor and walls with opus sectile inlays, also preserved in other rooms of the domus; a porticoed corridor leads to the innermost rooms of the house.

The façade overlooking the Decumanus is enhanced by the presence of a large vestibule, divided into two rooms (C-D), originally decorated with wall paintings showing scenes of rural life.
