Description

A small rectangular room in the west wing of the villa which has been identified as the warm room of the bath-house. The room has an incomplete (80%) geometric mosaic floor with the best survival of ceramic hypocaust flue tiles along the south wall. The room also has a quarter-round plaster moulding at wall/floor junction. Most of the floor is supported by ceramic tile hypocaust pilae but 2 acroprops and planking help support the north end, which has suffered damage. [SNA62028]
