In this large state-owned area, originally located between the main road and the amphitheater, are the ruins of some of the most luxurious private homes of ancient Aquileia. There are at least six domus, which may be dated between the 1st and the 4th century AD. These houses were centered on porticoed courtyards, sometimes arranged as gardens, around which all public and private rooms were organized: spacious rooms for official meeting, private apartments and small thermal baths. Some features of late antiquity are highly evident. At that time buildings were provided with rooms featuring an apse, once thought to be small Christian chapels and now identified as large and noteworthy reception rooms, extremely common in late antique times throughout the Roman world.
