Mosaic tiles
House of Mosaics
Artistic mosaics showing scenes from mythology and Homer’s Iliad, characterize this residence dating back to 370 B.C. Excavated and restored by the Swiss Archeological School, it contains a main atrium and smaller rooms, while it constitutes a typical example of residential architecture of the Classical and Hellenistic periods. Built on former ancient constructions, it was destroyed by fire at the beginning of the 3rd Cent. B.C.
