Conimbriga, House of Cantaber, Peristyle
Portugal

Of the set of compartments this is, perhaps, the most interesting of the house. Unfortunately, he was also one of the ones who suffered the most, during the times of abandonment, burial and re-exposure of the house. Of its mosaics, two remain in good condition and the remains of three others while two others were completely lost, but its architecture, in essence, resisted.

You entered this sector through the Southwest corner, whether coming from the residential part of the house, entering directly from the central peristyle, or, still there, from the central triclinium. The entry is therefore made obliquely: however, it is the axiality of the whole that is striking.

The peristyle is flanked by three pairs of distinct environments. To the west they open onto the wings and have a curious window directly open to the impluvium. To the east they constitute a kind of pavilions isolated by the wings that establish the true axis of this sector, which connects the access door of the residential part of the house to the access door to the viridário. These wings have their floor covered by an identical mosaic, which reinforces the axiality. The fundamental axis of circulation between the residential part and the garden of the house is thus framed by a set of rooms that must be classified as diaetae. Here, scenography is also important. The visitor is offered, further, an additional, more intimate axis, to see the garden. A parallel axis, more monumentalized, is the last stronghold of the inhabitant (which explains the placement chosen late for the set) and it is at the door that we find that curious apotropaic motif of the Mogor-type labyrinth.
