According to
Jashemski, this huge room at the rear of the peristyle had a wide opening on
both its sides.
This would have given
a splendid view of both the peristyle garden on its south, and the large hortus at the rear on its north side.

According to
Jashemski, when excavated in 1827, the garden had a portico across its southern
end.
At the rear of the
garden, on the right, there was a water reservoir and remains of lead fittings
and pipes, probably used for watering the garden.

According to Garcia y
Garcia, in the night of 14th-15th September 1943 at least three bombs fell on
the area of this large garden.
They destroyed two
pilasters and four columns.
In the north-east
corner of the garden, there was also the partial destruction of a room with a
large cistern, together with a corner of a room near the separate entrance at
VI.6.12.
Also damaged was the
area to the south-east of the atrium and the annexed workshop. This damage was restored.
