Scientists first discovered the ruins of a Roman villa in the area more than a century ago
After decades of digging, archaeologists in northern Italy have found a Roman mosaic floor beneath a vineyard. The intact and well-preserved floor was buried a few meters below ground level. BBS News reports that scientists first uncovered the ruins of a Roman villa in the area more than a century ago. It’s yet unclear how the janitor who discovered the bones will be able to maintain the treasure while making it visible and available for the public, according to The Guardian.
We’re eager to see what fresh discoveries can be found as Italy’s cultural landmarks continue to be renovated.
