Roman Mosaics

A Gallo-Roman villa was discovered in the town of Seviac, dating back to the second century AD.  While it is unclear who lived here, the family must have had a good deal of wealth, since the villa is quite large and had its own bath complex.  It also had spectacular mosaics on the floors, many of which have been uncovered and can be seen today.

Normally, beautiful artwork like this would have been carted off to a museum.  To see mosaics like this in their original setting is truly rare and impressive.
