A house of 2,500 square metres around two colonnaded courtyards, with one part for the family and another for guests, baths to the west and four hundred square metres of mosaics almost intact. The finest, in the family's hall, shows Pegasus bringing forth the spring of Hippocrene at the foot of Helicon. The excavated remains lie under a cover of 1996, beside the Museum of Roman Villas and a country house of the period rebuilt at full size for visitors.
