The extensive, luxurious Roman villa Palazzi di Casignana is located on the seashore and near the ancient road linking ancient Locri and Rhegion in today's province of Calabria, Italy.[1] It was discovered in 1964.[2] It reached its zenith during the late empire of the 4th c. AD, a period of turbulence elsewhere.
It is of exceptional size and quality, extending over 15 hectares and with sumptuous decorations including mosaic floors and exotic marbles covering the walls. It is the most monumental Roman villa in Calabria, with the most Roman floor mosaics,[3] with at least 23 rooms decorated with a rich variety of designs, both geometric and figurative.
