Regio II - Insula IX - Ninfeo II,IX,1
(Nymphaeum)

In the south-east corner of block II,IX, facing the Decumanus, are the remains of a nymphaeum (7.70 x 3.10). It was built in opus latericium and may be Antonine. The wall is articulated through pilasters. The wall and floor were decorated with marble. Behind the nymphaeum several basins were found. The nymphaeum was excavated in 1913.
