Along the north-west wall is a nymphaeum. It consists of seven rectangular and semicircular niches, in front of which are a podium and a basin. The central niche is larger than the others. Between the niches are brick columns. In the niches are remains of plaster with traces of red and blue paint. The podium and the basin were decorated with marble. On top of the podium are small steps, over which the water flowed.
A room is reached from courtyard A along a single tread. In the entrance are two marble columns. The floor was decorated with polychrome opus sectile and the walls were lined with marble.
