Mansio

data access 77322

Remains of a building were discovered that might have served as a mansio. The footprint of the building is still being uncovered, but it appears to have been a large complex around a central courtyard.
An eight meters long mosaic has been uncovered. The design of the larger panel has been attributed to a team of mosaicists known as the Acanthus group, who developed a unique style. The smaller panel is similar to one unearthed in Trier, Germany.

Another large Roman building was also found at the site, which archaeologists say was likely to have been the private residence of a wealthy individual or family. Traces of lavishly painted walls, terrazzo and mosaic floors, coins and jewellery have been found. Among the items recovered are a decorated bronze brooch, a bone hairpin and a sewing needle1.
