DescriptionIn front of east door of round structure is a doorstep, broken with the breaking of the pavement as wide as the door, and lacking the thick mortar in front of the rest of the wall. As it is very broken, it is hard to characterize it. It was constructed on top of the mosaic floor 6250, which here originally ran up to the original doorstep.
