Above the inscription we find a relief depicting
the lighthouse of Portus, a vessel
entering the harbour and a tavern.
The dating of the second period of use is estimated at 180 AD.
From this period are probably also the decorations inside the arch
of
the back-wall and on the side-walls after the closing of the niches.
During the excavations there must have been a painting of Narcissus
on the left wall (now invisible). On the right wall was the scene
in which
Hylas is led away by nymphs (Ostian museum inv.nr. 10124).
