.
The floor of the Paristyle - or colonnaded patio around the courtyard. These mosaics are part of the path on the visitor's route ! |
.
The Autumn-mosaic room - believed to have been a dining room. The room takes its name from the subject of the mosaic - the wine harvest, and if you enlarge the picture you can just see them treading the grapes (in the middle of the square). |

Detail of the floor, showing grape picking. |
.
The fish-mosaic room. If you look carefully, you can spot a number of different fish. The design indicates the importance of this room - fresh fish were a luxury in an inland city. |

What a fascinating little town with so much history. I liked the mosaic in the Mithraeum House in particular. The hotel looks a real find! | el_ruso Sun Apr 29, 2007 00:12 UTC
I did not know how extensive are the Roman ruins in Merida. I hope to return to Spain soon and see Merida. | cachaseiro Fri Dec 8, 2006 07:32 UTC
