Highlights
During the visit it is possible to admire the magnificent mosaic, figurative and polychrome surfaces, created with great technical skill. Particularly noteworthy is the mosaic of the "Dance of the Geniuses of the Seasons", the central part of a large mosaic floor that shows a very rare representation of the Seasons dancing in a circle to the sound of a syringe. Or the mosaic of the "Good Shepherd", portrayed according to the iconographic scheme of Orpheus, which although it does not have all the specific elements of a sacred representation, could still be a figure with Christian cultic connotations. The visit route winds inside the archaeological area via an elevated walkway that runs alongside the rooms of the building complex and from which it is possible to admire the mosaics that decorated the floors up close.OPENING TIME
