Countless other objects were found elsewhere in the building. Here we mention just a few. From the eastern porticus, in front of room 40, comes a bronze applique depicting two facing dolphins.

Two religious objects of lead were found: a statuette of Venus and a plaque with a depiction of Diana holding a bow and taking an arrow from the quiver on her back. An almost identical plaque was found in the villa at Ferpicloz.
