Description: Located in region (regio) I ii 3 of the excavated site, the main hall of the building measures 16 x 8 m, including the vestibule. The hall could be entered through two doorways, one from the Decumanus and the other from the Square of the Lares. The building includes an apse (semi-circular recess) that may have functioned as a sanctuary. There is a long hall along the east side, as well as a smaller room and a latrine on the north. An inscription from the time of Gordion III (238-244 CE) connects the building with the ferrymen. Hermansen notes that membership in the association must have been small.
