Arch. 6.3.6). Fauces (faucēs -ium, f. meaning a narrow opening in various contexts) is the Latin word for entrance hall, this is where the owner of the house would try to impress his visitors by a large beautiful mosaic on the floor of the entrance hall, some people would have mosaics of animals guarding their homes, this was quite common.
