The country villas of the late Roman aristocracy give us a un ique insight into the lifestyles of the super-rich and\, by their choice o f interior décor\, into their individual tastes and preferences. Sicily p ossesses some outstanding examples of this phenomenon\, in particular the great villa of Casale near Piazza Armerina which\, 70 years after the main excavations\, is still unmatched anywhere in the Roman Empire for the she er number of its figured and geometric mosaic floors. Less well known are the villa at Caddeddi on the Tellaro river\, not far from Syracuse\, and t hat at Patti Marina on the north coast. This talk will not attempt to cove r all aspects of these spectacular sites\, some of which will already be w ell known to those who have visited Sicily\, but will focus on recent work which has broadened our knowledge\, especially of the first two. It will also present the speaker’s own recent excavations at a fourth site\, Ger ace\, near Enna in central Sicily\, which\, while not at the same level of luxury as the other three\, has nevertheless yielded fresh information ab out a further late Roman Sicilian estate\, and even the name of its owners . The talk will also consider the end of high-status rural life at these v illas (and\, briefly\, what followed it)\, and will also discuss the likel y significance of an old find\, long neglected\, which might possibly sugg est that luxury living in rural Sicily may\, just occasionally\, have cont inued a little later than is currently thought.
\nIm Anschluss an de n Vortrag findet ein kleiner Apéro statt.
