  • Villa Romana del Casale, built between the 3rd and 4th century A.D., was partially destroyed by an earthquake in the 12th century. However, the mosaics adorning nearly every room were preserved by a mudslide and survived in nearly pristine condition until they were rediscovered by archeologists some 700 years later. They remain one of the finest collections of Roman tile work in the world.

    A mudslide helped protect these intricate works of art, allowing them to be enjoyed hundreds of years later. What do you think about these mosaics?

    It's amazing how the beautiful artwork has been well preserved throughout history. Good job on the effort for its restoration, too. The artwork looks like it has a lot of stories to tell. Would love to visit it one day. Thanks for sharing National Geographic.

    Beautiful! These mosaics are probably the closest we'll ever get to time travel. I assume the artist back then depicted what he saw daily...making it a window into their world👍👏👏👏👏

    who ever put this video together needs a lesson in positioning. when you are showing mosaic floors, don't put your oh so important explanation over them, use the space where there are no mosaics to marvel at, like up on the adobe walls and in screen killing sun drenched doorways.

      There was no such thing as a "Roman". The empire was called "Roman Empire" because its capital was Rome. Its people came from many different regions of the world, be it from slavery (Africa, Asia) or joining the Empire (Eastern Europe, Northern Europe to some extend). Everyone could be a roman if they followed the Empires laws, paid taxes and contributed.

      Left anti pc the fact that the Roman Empire's northern boarders ended in middle Germany contributed to the fact that there werde not many blonde "Romans". Blonde Hair and blue eyes are "trademark" of "northern" People. They joined the Empire too and mixed with the south European people, but in lesser numbers (mostly skilled workers wanting to improve their Livingstandards in the more "advanced" Roman Empire.

      Charla Gotier their empire was evil. Most are actually. That’s why I celebrate slave revolts throughout history, even if they end in death. Spartacus was a gladiator slave to the Romans that led an uprising that bought the nation to its knees.

    • @525Lines

      Right. The leaders took labor instead of tax money and since most people were farmers in the ancient world, they had a lot of free time in the off season.
