According to Jashemski, at the rear of the atrium was the peristyle garden, excavated in 1863.

It was enclosed on the north, west and south by a portico supported by seven columns.

The columns were red at the bottom, white and fluted above.

There was a pillar flanked by two half-columns at the north-west corner.

There was a gutter around the edges of the garden.
