The undisputed protagonist is the mosaic, unique in Piedmont for its high quality, which decorated the floor of the dining room, called triclinium, of this house belonging to a wealthy class family.

The Domus must have been not only beautiful and refined, as evidenced by fragments of colored plaster that made the walls more waterproof and aesthetically pleasing, but also provided with all comforts of the time, including an “undefloor heating system”, called “hypocaust” (that means “underground fire”). It was made of small terracotta pillars, which are still visible in the archaeological excavation; they were used to create a cavity under the floor, in which the warm air could circulate thanks to the action of an oven.

The Domus was located just north of the Decumanus Maximus, the main road that crossed the city from east to west. The wealthier classes decided to build their houses in this area probably because of the proximity to the Forum square.
