The center of the composition is marked by the courtyard, which was the main transit area for the rooms in the north and east side of the house. The southern and western part of the house is treated as a portico, probably served for economic activities of the owner. The main room, the andron (space reserved for men), is located in the east and with the later reconstruction work in the house, apparently maintained its function until the third century AD, when its walls were plastered and painted. The house was built in the third century BC for wealthy family of the city and was in use until the fourth century AD. In the fifth century AD over its ruins took place the construction of two modest domestic buildings of two rooms, and by the end of sixth century AD the place was transformed into a cemetery.
