From here the atrium takes a turn as it negotiates a gentle bend around a
large building to the west.  Paved with esthetically attractive mosaic, the
design under you is of the denizens of the sea, variously positioned so that
regardless ofthe direction from which one walks into the room the figures
appear right side up.  To the south you notice the path makes another turn
again.  
A slave woman trudges along, carrying her heavy basket of goods.
A child runs about playing tag.
A Diocletian commoner goes about his daily chores here.
