This big house was built on 3 levels, and it had 2
big lateral covered porches for each floor. The
1st floor spaces were the ones occupied by the
Landlord family. In fact, on this level there were
the tubs area, the atrium, the office of the
householder, the dinning room with triclinium
and the terrace. At the intermediate level probably
there were warehouses and other service
structures for the house such as the furnace or
the big tank for the water.
At the bottom level there were probably shops
and small taverns.
Here it is how the building was to appear
In the following picture you can see what remains of the 3rd level of the house. On the left you can see the walls of the thermal swimming pool of the Spa area. On the left you see the covered arcade that was leading to the terrace.
