The domus which is conserved under the bank “Banca Popolare di Verona” is located at the border of the Roman city, on a “cardo” that corresponds to the modern street “Via San Cosimo”. The house was built at the end of the I century B.C. and it was further renovated between the II and III century A.D.
The “domus” was on one level only and it was organized around a courtyard (B) which was initially paved with packed-earth floors and which was later renovated between II and III centuries A.D. by adding a white stone pavement, a little fountain and a Tuscan colonnade. The little fountain was located on the central axis of the courtyard and its remains include the Greek marble bottom and the bronze devices for water charge and discharge.
Among the rooms facing the road rooms C and D need to be highlighted. They are paved with mosaic and they have been interpreted as summer rooms. On the opposite side of the courtyard there are two rooms (E, F) paved with polychrome mosaics. Their walls are covered with marble and they have been interpreted as winter rooms because they have no openings on the courtyard and they are close to the heating system. The latter (G) is a space paved in bricks with an opening on the porch for the combustible. Just next to it the floor of the little room H is raised in order to allow the passage of the hot air coming from G through an arched opening in the bottom of the wall. Just as in the case of the courtyard, the mosaics are the result of the renovation that occurred between the II and III centuries A.D.. Most likely they were preceded by more simple floors made of broken tiles and mortar, which have been identified in the rooms on the north.
