On the floor in one room is a Trajanic black-and-white mosaic of a naked male person. Presumably this man was the baths-superintendent. In his hands are a bucket and a stick (perhaps a strigilis). In another room is another Trajanic black-and-white mosaic. In the centre are a Triton and a Nereid. They are surrounded by a sea-cow, dolphins, and hippocamps. The walls are decorated with white marble, preserved particularly well around the doorway. The walls of this room are very thick, suggesting that they carried a basin.
