House-basilica by the Roman theatre

Its main front faced west, onto a paved north–south street. From a vestibule 5 m wide you passed into an almost square porticoed courtyard, the axis of symmetry of the house, with a small pool draining into the great sewer of the theatre; the walkways around it were paved with mosaics. In the western wing are three rooms read as cubicula and another that Mélida identified as a triclinium, without enough evidence to be sure.

The most remarkable feature is two adjoining rooms ending in apses, in the eastern sector. The larger, with a doorway 3.62 m wide and three windows of 1.55 m in the east wall, was paved with mosaic and, from its central position with respect to the courtyard, is read as an oecus or reception room; it preserves rich painted decoration with a dado imitating marble crustae, red panels separated by blue bands and, in the apse, four human figures standing on plinths, datable to the first half of the 4th century.

Two phases can be told apart: the mosaics of the apsidal oecus are 2nd-century and those of the eastern side and the western corridor are 4th-century; in the second phase architectural elements from the theatre itself were reused. To the north, possible baths appeared in the 1940s. How it related in function to the theatre remains unclear. Location approximate, within the theatre precinct.
