Sicily’s Roman Villa Illustrates Life

Fisherman are hard at work getting the fresh catch for all of your feasting the next couple of days! This image from the Roman Villa of Casale in Piazza Armerina, Sicily, a 4th century AD estate that boasts 43,055 square feet of mosaic tile floors, shows us how they did it in ancient Roman times. This is just one scene of hundreds that reveal to us many details about life in ancient Rome.

During our Stunning Sicily tour in October 2020, you’ll be up close to the tiles with an archeologist who will get into the history of this fascinating UNESCO site.
