On the floor is a coarse polychrome mosaic without a pattern.
A statue of Cupid and Psyche on a pedestal stood in the centre of one room.
The house was excavated in 1938. It was built in opus vittatum in the second quarter of the fourth century AD. The building is at a higher level than that of the second century. Around the building the level was raised considerably, by dumping earth.
