It stands north and south, and consists of a rectangular chamber 25 ft by 20, with an apsidal recess 10 1/2 ft wide across the northern side.

This building is situated within the southeast corner of insula XXI. It is orientated north-south with its south wall overlapping the street frontage. Few traces of the building remained except for a 'hall' measuring 7.5 metres by 5.8 metres with a possible apse at the south end of the west wall. The building has been interpreted as a possible temple or, due to its location on the corner of the main east-west street, a building with some kind of public or ritual function. (3) |
