Roman villa and mosaics

The area in which we live is rich in Roman history. We recently visited a nearby roman villa and a museum with lots and lots of Roman displays.




Here you can see the underfloor heating system.

Exquisite mosaics. Mosaics were used instead of carpets to cover floors in rich Roman houses.










The famous hunting dogs.
