G) Environmental amenities, dining areas: All dining areas were well-lit by the open areas onto
which they faced; the dining areas off peristyles (17, 32, 56) would especially have been afforded
air, with the possible exception of DR•(20), which had an antechamber separating it from the E
portico of (17). The aspects of all dining areas off the peristyles were carefully constructed; all
possessed oblique views at the colonnades and the gardens within (Figs. 5.32). DH•(18) and
DH•(35) also had two columns in antis framing their wide doorways. Dwyer (1982, 88-96) has
restored the life-size bronze Apollo Citarista (a copy of a fifth c. B.C. original) to the SE corner of
(32), in plain view of DH•(35). Elsewhere in the same peristyle (exact location unknown), was a
large marble altar with relief decoration on all sides. Most of the sculptural decoration from the
house was found in peristyle (17). A bronze sculptural group stood on the W edge of the semi-
circular fountain basin, and consisted of (left to right): leaping stag, leaping lion, boar attacked
by two dogs, and a serpent. The whole ensemble was flanked by two marble double-herms. The
