Excavation continued of the large suburban villa, of which an imposing cistern in opus reticulatum, constituting its basis, had already been found. The complex covered at least two terraces sloping down towards the sea, and must have belonged to the gens Egnatia. This was ascertained from an inscription naming one Quintus Egnatius Taurinus, present on a fistula found, not in situ, downhill from the baths of the villa.

The archaeological investigation revealed an interesting series of rooms, most of them with mosaic floors, belonging to the baths, which partly faced onto the portico surrounding the viridarium, uncovered by last year’s excavations. The frigidarium had a black and white mosaic floor with geometric motif and central emblem. The tepidarium was a small rectangular room of which traces remain of the mortar floor on which the suspensurae rested. The calidarium was rectangular in plan with a semicircular pool at the northern end, lined with opus signinum to hold the water heated by the nearby praefurnium which was paved with brick. On the walls of the calidarium the tegulae mammatae fixed with long T-shaped nails could be seen. The mosaic floor, unfortunately collapsed at the centre, preserved the remains of marine animals.

The structures relating to the earliest phase of the villa, of Republican date, were preserved downhill from the baths. To the north of the residential quarters were a number of badly preserved service rooms. Lastly, further archaeological investigations are looking at several rooms on the lower terrace belonging to the pars rustica of the villa.
