Another corridor (B), connected to the courtyard, has a mosaic floor with a personification of Sicily, or Trinacria, represented as a female bust with three legs on her head. It gives access to the heated rooms, which are in the south part of the complex.<\/p>\n

Finally, the\u00a0tepidarium<\/em>\u00a0(room for warm baths) has a mosaic with a scene of athletes receiving prizes (D).<\/p>\n
