Some are visible during the journey tabernaea latrine with mosaic floor depicting two dolphins and a marine animal, a rectangular room that served as a apodyterium (locker room).
At the bottom we arrive in the frigidarium (for cold water baths), with a mosaic floor depicting a procession of fantastic animals with in the corners of the dolphins and the area of the rooms until you reach the calidarium (where there were hot or steam baths).
