| North of the impluvium you see an elaborate cantibulum resting between the two northern-most columns. |
| On these, two shorter crossbeams were laid, over the sides of the impluvium. |
| From this the atrium is entered which had no impluvium, but was covered entirely with a roof. |
| In the restoration, the impluvium is surrounded with a mosaic border. |
| Beyond the impluvium is the place of a small altar for the worship of the Lares. |
| In the better houses a fountain was often placed in the middle of the impluvium. |
