The so-called "House of the silver bust" in the La Villasse archaeological site of Vaison-la-Romaine was more likely the gaterhing place of a society (collegium). It has an impressive size of about 5000 m² and adjoins both the market street to its east and the palaestra to its west. The public bathhouse north of the palaestra may at some point have become connected to this complex, becoming privately owned. Part of the complex may be covered by the visitors' dock overlooking it to the north.
