    The bronze statue of a drunken dancing faun stood on the edge of the impluvium, a basin for collecting rainwater, a copy of the statue has since been moved to the center of the basin. Fauns are spirits of untamed forests, often associated by literate and Hellenized Romans with Pan and Greek satyrs, the wild followers of Dionysos, the Greek god of wine and agriculture. The decorative sculpture is finely modeled and finished.
