The mosaics of Villa Romano del Casale

Villa Romano del Casale, this grand residence outside of Piazza Armerina, was covered by a mud slide way back and the splendid floor mosaics are just about in perfect condition.

They tell a great deal about Roman life.

A little bit of fishing…

…a jaunt in Africa for some wild animals to ship home…

…a bit of racing in the back yard…

…bikini clad girls out for a bit of sport…

…men hunting some wild boar…

…a bit of drinking…

…a BBQ to finish off the day…

…a couple of selfies…

…and some fun and games.

Times really haven’t changed all that much.
