STATUES IN THE GARDEN OF THE nymphaeum
Prima metà I sec. d.C.
Sculpture
The garden’s furniture was made up of oscilla (decorated disks in stone or clay) and theater masks which were hanging down from the columns; the herms were used as decorations in the green area; the Gods were represented by the statues of Venus and Diana and small animals or glassed stones were detectable in the grass. Also some supports in stone for oil lamps and drinking troughs for the birds were found.
