In the south area of the villa there is another peristyle, oval in shape, which terminates to the west with a semi-circular nymphaeum. The arcade mosaic, which is for the most part lost, features animal heads wreathed by ornamental acanthus leaves. This was constructed with masonry balusters, presumably covered with a pergola, while in the open courtyard there were water displays created by fountains spurting from the mosaic pavement.
