Description

A. Karivieri & R. Forsell

The spacious tricliniumm, opens in its total width towards the west portico of the peristyle. The doorposts are made of large Sarno limestone blocks. The lava stone threshold is much worn.

The tricliniumm is separated from the tablinum by corridor k to which there was a small door opening. In its last phase, the room received a large window towards the atrium in the west. The window is framed by large limestone blocks and extends almost the whole width of the wall.

There is a recess in the southern wall.

The room was painted in the Fourth style and although mostly the coating remains, the southern wall have remains of a red dado and on the northern wall the dado shows a vegetal motif with vertical lines between the plants.

There are remains of a badly preserved cocciopesto floor.

 

The southern wall is built above the floor, which shows that it is a later arrangement. By the western wall there are remains of yellow wall plaster which must belong to an earlier decoration phase.
