Further investigations were undertaken in the urban context of Calatia, in particular in the area shown on RAF aerial photographs to be the site of an altimetrical anomaly. This was formed by an accumulation of ancient debris and pottery, which produced the assemblage of architectural elements housed in the Civic Museum at Maddaloni.

The town was laid out on a network of cardi and decumani, with rectangular insulae, orientated on almost astronomical alignments, its northern axis being only a few degrees out to the west. In the proximity of the rounded town walls that were a legacy of the archaic town, the insulae were adjusted to fit their line, thus taking on odd alignments.

The excavated house was aligned with and faced onto a road that must have followed the embankment of the town wall, possibly situated a few metres to the south. The house had a square plan, with a probable extension to the north, reached by a narrow corridor opening from the back of the atrium. The atrium was surrounded by cubicula and, with the tablinium at the back. A staircase, situated in a closed corridor, led to the upper floor. The impluvium was added during alterations and was later radically changed: its pool was filled with dark earth, rich in bones and pottery, a colonnade was built around it and it was perhaps transformed into a small garden. A rise in the floor level of the porticoes was contemporary with the alterations to the impluvium.

The house was built in opus reticulatum, non of its decorations survived. Its foundation can be attributed to the second half of the 1st century B.C., the restructuring to the first half of the following century. The house is a good starting point for studies on private housing at Calatia as it provides a complete model of a dwelling, evidence known to date only through historical references and partial finds. It may also provide evidence regarding the deduction of a colony to Calatia at the time of Julius Caesar.

In a peripheral position, it may not have been occupied for very long as a house and was then reused for a different function. The structure stands in an area that was previously occupied, perhaps by craft workshops.
