Inside, the building was arranged around a large courtyard with a brick colonnade and a central basin (C). Later, at the back of the courtyard a banqueting hall (D) and other public rooms were built, decorated with mosaic floors and wall paintings in imitation of a marble veneer.<\/p>\n

The building was erected above earlier houses, the oldest of which (Domus dei Bucrani<\/em>) dates to the 1st<\/sup>\u00a0century BC. The remains of a\u00a0domus<\/em>\u00a0(house) of the early Imperial period (E) can still be seen in the courtyard of the\u00a0Schola<\/em>, including a peristyle and some mosaics.<\/p>\n
