Description:

Located on the west wall of the garden triclinium were three niches arranged at different heights. The room was originally covered but became a garden following the 62 A.D. earthquake. The two top niches were larger, both possessing projecting tile bases. The top left niche was rectangular and appeared to have once been a window, while the other top niche and the lower niche were arched. The interior of the niches were plastered. The property is believed to have been a market garden.
