Mosaic

Volubilis was settled and prospered under the Mauritanian kings, from the third century B.C. to 40 A.D., after which it was annexed by the Romans.

Just one of the many mosaics at Volubilis. They were interesting, but even the tour guide said they weren’t that well preserved.

The remains of a private home with heating, posted earlier:

I love these old Roman floors - we saw similar ones in Greece - the detail is amazing. Nicely captured V

Not sure what your guide expects from something 2000 years old, but I think these are exquisite! Well photographed, too. V.
