A vast mosaic uncovered in Rome, the largest ever discovered in the Roman world, has opened to the public for the first time.
The mosaic and an accompanying fresco were discovered during excavations in the 1990s in an underground gallery beneath the Baths of Trajan, an expansive imperial leisure complex comprising libraries and bathing pools.
The works, known as the “Painted City” fresco and the “Muse and the Philosopher” mosaic, have opened to the public during weekends, initially for groups of 15.
