意大利文化部周二表示，考古学家在罗马斗兽场附近发现了一座豪华的罗马住宅，拥有“无与伦比”的图案，其中包括贝壳、大理石和珍贵的玻璃。

在这幅马赛克画中，三艘大船在波涛中驶向一座沿海城市，它的墙壁上点缀着小塔楼和门廊，这一场景表明，这座拥有2000多年历史的房屋的主人曾在战斗中取得胜利。

Brought to light after archaeologists discovered a series of walls in 2018, the domus is spread over several floors. So far only some rooms have been excavated⁷, and the dig will continue well into 2024.

通过“不同类型的贝壳、埃及蓝镶嵌石、珍贵的玻璃、白色大理石或其他类型的石头的微小薄片”描绘了一个“复杂的现象”的场景。
