According to Sogliano, Triclinium “S” was decorated with walls with a white background.
The room had doorposts of wood and probably the threshold was also of the same material.
The white background of the walls was partitioned into large square ornamentations:
in the middle of each of two of the squares on the north wall were medallions with purple (paonazzo) backgrounds:
the medallion on the left was better preserved and showed a flying griffin.
He also said that this room was also used as a bedroom, as shown by the bed recess in the west wall.
