Side Room

A view, looking south, at a room off the southeast corner of the Peristyle Courtyard.

Notice the marble flooring, the two-step rise, and the column bases from earlier structures that were used in the construction of this house—spolia.


The "Peristyle House with Church" is located south of the Large/North Theater; It seems to have been constructed in the 3rd-century AD and was destroyed in the earthquake during the reign of the Byzantine Emperor Focas (AD 602-610).
