According to Hobson, pipe water was supplied to a small number of toilets.
In this toilet a tap was attached in the wall (but no longer visible as the whole latrine room has collapsed).

It was possible to regenerate the three large green areas with the
formation of three aesthetic and utilitarian gardens based on archaeological
data and finds and on an interpretation of the proportions of the spaces of the
domus as well as on the internal perspective visual axes.

estetici ed utilitaristici basati sui dati e reperti archeologici e su
un’interpretazione delle proporzioni degli spazi della domus oltre che sugli
