The intricate artwork, dating back to the Late Antique Period (III-IV sec. d. C), is a testament to the rich heritage and artistic brilliance of ancient civilizations. The mosaic depicts a scene from an exhilarating hunt, with horses galloping alongside terrestrial mammals and various vertebrates.

It serves as a reminder that even after centuries have passed since its creation, art continues to inspire awe and admiration for those who encounter it. Let us appreciate this extraordinary glimpse into history - where creativity met skillful execution - forever preserved within these mosaic tiles adorning the corridors of Villa del Casale.
