The Decumanus Maixmus is a street of impressive mansions , at least if the floor plans and mosaics are anything to go by. One house has a very complete "Labours of Hercules", another "the Cortege of Venus" and another "Bacchus surrounded by the Four Seasons". There are also a number of variations on Diana and Nymphs bathing which was clearly a popular subject in those parts of the house used by men.
uhhhhhh... firstly Volubilis is in Morocco, not in Syria with the Decumanus Maximus. Then secondly the Mosaic of the seven labours is in Morocco's Volubilis mansions and nothing to do with the Decumanus Maximus.
