According to Soprano –

Ubicazione: hortus.

Bibliog. Fiorelli, op. c., p.146.

Il triclinio era addossato alla cella dell’hortulanus nel giardino riservato esclusivamente alla cultura di ortaggi.

Il Fiorelli attribuisce questo triclinio a costruzioni che in precedenza avevano occupato l’area dell’ hortus.

Attualmente la sagoma dei tre letti e pressoche distrutta.
