A rural sacrifice takes place in the middle of the second register of the floor mosaic.
Some characters are depicted in front of a statue of Diana, the goddess of hunting.
One of them, evidently of high rank due to the details of his purple clothing adorned by
clavi
and
orbiculi
, offers the deity incense or resin in the brazier of a quadrangular altar; a ritual to gain favour for the hunting activity about to begin.
At his side, two young men watch the scene, leading a horse by the reins, while a boy holds a dog at bay. 
At the time, scenes of rural sacrifice also adorned private residences, as shown by a
Lillebonne mosaic
, formerly Juliobona in Normandy.
