[FR] Elle est caractérisée par une grande cour-péristyle encadrant un bassin, autour de laquelle s'organisent de nombreuses pièces. Construite à la fin du Ier-début du IIè siècle de notre ère, cette demeure privée subit des modifications architecturales au IIIè siècle : le bassin central est comblé, le sol de la cour est dallé et une mosaïque polychrome décore le sol d'une salle de réception de 80 m². Cette riche demeure sera abandonnée au IVè siècle.
La mosaïque a été déposée en 1995 par l'atelier de restauration de Saint-Romain-en-Gal. Elle est aujourd'hui visible sur RV à l'Office de Tourisme de Clermont-Ferrand.
La vitrine publique à cet endroit, présente plusieurs maquettes de la domus, le parti pris de sa restitution, le contexte de la fouille ainsi que les méthodes de dépose d'une mosaïque.
[FR] The house is characterized by a lard courtyard-peristyle with a bassin in the center, around which many rooms were arranged. Constructed at the end of the 1st/beginning of the 2nd century AD, this private residence underwent architectural modifications in the 3rd century : the central basin was filled in, the floor and courtyard were paved over and a multi colored mosaic decorated the floor of a 80 m² room for receiving guests. This richly decorated residence was abandoned in the 4th century.
The mosaic was restored and is visible by appointment at the Tourist office of Clermont-Ferrand.
The public display case at this location presents several models of residence, information about the excavations, as well as the methods used to restore the mosaic.
