Over time, the\u00a0insula<\/em>\u00a0underwent transformations that involved the creation of small independent apartments.<\/p>\n

The painted decorations on the walls and one ceiling, still preserved in two rooms, may date to a renovation in the late 2nd<\/sup>\u00a0century AD; they reflect the refined taste of the patrons of this period.<\/p>\n
