A domus in Ostia Antica on the Via del Tempio d’Ercole, between the Via della Foce to the south and the Tiber to the north. Installed in late antiquity, and incorporating large parts of a preexisting tenement, this house had a wide central corridor, which opened through an arcade onto a small garden (viridarium) backed by a nymphaeum.
