Inscription.  Il piano terra del settore "privato" del palazzo si articolava intorno a un cortile con portico a colonne di marmi colorati, analogo a quello posto nel settore "pubblico"; al centro si trovava una grande vasca entro la quale, in un periodo successivo, fu realizzato un tempietto, raggiungibile grazie a un piccolo ponte ad arcate. Ai lati del peristilio c'erano sale di varia destinazione, per il soggiorno e il banchetto, alcune delle quali recano ancora traccia dei raffinati pavimenti in marmi colorati. Sulle pareti di uno di questi ambienti furono scoperti resti (oggi molto rovinati) di affreschi di soggetto cristiano relativi a un oratorio di epoca tarda.
