Several rooms devoted
to service and various other types of purposes, opened up on vast galleries surrounding
a large garden, which is located slightly below ground level. At the center of
this garden lays a magnificent pool, featuring at one end, a pedestal which must
have been used as a base for a statue or a support for a foundation, meant to
dispense a very welcomed coolness, under a less than mild a climate. This type
of amenity was extremely rare only another, less sophisticated example, in known
- in Thysdrus, due to the dire scarceness of water. |
