Room of the Genii
The room of the genii (a genius being a sort of guardian spirit which, according to Roman mythology, every person and place was believed to possess) was involved in the building transformations of the second phase during the third century, transformed from its original shop storage function into an elegant room that led into an interior courtyard, referred to as nymphaeum. Today this opening is closed off by the foundation wall of the basilica.
