From elaborate columns to painted plaster to marble statues, Roman villas in particular were true showstoppers.
Even the floors were beautifully decorated with rich, intricate mosaics.

The mosaics are incredibly well-preserved.
They include geographic designs and inscriptions in Greek and Latin.
Excavations have been ongoing, with pauses for legal reasons, since 2010.

The home was probably one for local elites or administrators of empire.
The mosaic is elaborate and expansive.
It will be fascinating to see just how much more mosaic artwork appears with further excavation.
