Summary[edit]

Description Found during construction work in 1893, the 58 square metre mosaic floor quickly became one of the leading attractions of the health-resort city. Its hypocaust heating system is completely preserved. A walk through the understructure of the mosaic provides a view of the underside of the floor and reveals the principle and functionality of the Roman hypocaust system. The lively picture of the main mosaic depicts a scene in an amphitheatre. This is surrounded by a group of pictures alternating between gladiator and animal fights.
