According to Jashemski, Fiorelli thought that the atrium
had a space in the middle for growing plants.
She said that Overbeck-Mau thought the planting beds were
in the top of a low wall that enclosed the implvium.
There were two cistern mouths near the impluvium.

Appendices. New York: Caratzas. (p.126)
According to Fiorelli, found in the atrium were two
paintings.
One showed Ulysses and Circe, the other Achilles being
recognised by Ulysses at the court of Lycomedes.
In the tablinum, two badly damaged paintings were found.
One of Phryxus and Helle, the other of Adonis wounded.
There were also figures in the middle of the ornately
painted architecture, Helbig’s numbers 979, 994, 1001.
