832 IT - Villa Romana del Casale (1997)

Brief Description

"Roman exploitation of the countryside is symbolized by the Villa Romana del Casale (in Sicily), the centre of the large estate upon which the rural economy of the Western Empire was based. The villa is one of the most luxurious of its kind. It is especially noteworthy for the richness and quality of the mosaics which decorate almost every room; they are the finest mosaics in situ anywhere in the Roman world."

卡萨尔的罗马别墅
"位于西西里的卡萨尔罗马别墅是罗马大庄园的中心，西罗马帝国农村经济就依赖这些庄园。卡萨尔的罗马别墅是众多同类建筑中最奢华的一个。卡萨尔的镶嵌工艺水平和质量尤其值得关注，几乎装饰了每一个房间的马赛克，时至今日仍然是罗马世界的一朵瑰丽的奇葩。"
