Excavation

Here is one of the excavation sites we visited this week.  We arrived after driving 140 km an hour!  I was pretty nervous as the highway was narrow with a shoulder on one side only.



There is info on the net.  The excavation was begun in 1929. This is a home from the Holy Roman Empire and it is huge.  It is famous for the floors made out of very small mosiac tiles.  There were many rooms and hallways and each room had a floor of a different design.  Whoever owned this home was obviously wealthy.





The room you see through the doorway is called the bikini room as it shows women in bikinis involved in various sports.




Now, this place is OLD!
