Abstract

These mosaics are almost intact, with only a few small gaps. The first mosaic is framed with arches on a dark background. It is a polychrome mosaic that is brightly decorated with geometric motifs. Ribbons formed by a 2-colored braid create a pattern of curvilinear octagons. Inside of the octagons is a jagged crown housing a floral motif. These octagons form rounds containing a broken Greek crown. The flow generates almond shapes arranged in crossed lines. The second mosaic is a geometric pattern that adapts to the structure of the walls. There is a crenellated dentello frame, with a triple thread outlining the perimeter based on a checkerboard pattern. Some squares are surrounded by a 2-ply braid, while their centers have another square with double black thread.

Alt Text

A three-dimensional model of two square-shaped rooms made of stone and adjoined by a narrow opening situated between the two. The floors of the rooms are decorated with tile mosaics in repeating, geometric patterns that largely remain intact. Small sections of fresco paintings can still be seen on some of the walls. There is only one entrance to and exit from the rooms, leaving the back room with no openings beyond that which connects it to the front. The 3D model can be freely moved, rotated, and zoomed in and out, allowing the viewer to inspect the object with greater detail and from multiple different angles.
