According to Peters, two small landscapes were to be seen on the southern wall of the exedra, south of the atrium.

These were in the centres of the side panels. The wall was divided into two parts by a central red compartment.

According to Peters, of the left-hand landscape, only fragments showing buildings can still be seen.

In 1963, in the centre left, he could make out a porticus on the water, but the rest was no longer describable. (p.151)

According to Peters, the landscape on the right-hand side had been better preserved.

The only piece missing was a strip along its lower edge.

In the centre he could see a sacred tree and an altar, near to which were two people offering.

On the right, but still in the centre, there was a temple and a dead tree.

On the left, he could see a sanctuary against the rocks. (p.151)
