The complex consists of six buildings linked by paved paths, and surrounded by walls. A barn, slave quarters, and a wide assortment of agricultural and other tools were unearthed, including a "treasure of silver coins", which will help determine the exact time of the villa and her inhabitants, although archaeologists believe that the villa was razed some time around the great Gothic invasion of 270-275, the report said. ....continued Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
