Description:

On the east side of the atrium was a cult space. This cult space was set into a pillar. On the west side of this pillar was an arched niche with a projecting base, with sat 1.02m above the floor. Above was a stucco relief of a laurel wreath with taeniae, painted yellow. In the niche was found various items including an iron knife with a bronze handle, an iron hammer, and a bronze rosette. Above this niche was another rectangular niche, however, it appears to have been used for storage purposes.
