“The mosaic itself is composed of large squares, each sporting a unique geometric design on a white background, from starburst patterns to intertwined loops.”

Looks like giant game boards by the pool.

Did they give the farmer anything for this? Or does the state take over the land? Didn’t see anything about that.

Gorgeous mosaic. I wonder if the different squares, or areas were separate rooms?

Italy should demand the “right to return” to their previously held lands. It works for the Palastenians.

These are beautiful and amazingly well preserved. The dude who built this villa must have been really rich.
