Long Description:
The Glatiator Mosaic was found in a villa of the 2nd century and is much larger. Only the central image is presented in this place.
29 different shades of color appear in the mosaic using various types of stane, glass, and ceramics. There are some places where repair works after a fire in the 3rd century can be noticed, because the original materials were not available any more.
Specific visit requirements:
None. Enjoy your visit!
