TRArchaeologists working at the ancient city of Adramytteion in Balıkesir, Turkey, have uncovered a well-preserved Roman-era villa featuring intricate mosaics that provide insights into the city's domestic life, trade networks, and cultural influences. The villa includes an atrium surrounded by three halls adorned with mosaics, frescoes, and symbolic imagery such as a winged horse, which had appeared on local coins centuries earlier. The mosaics also depict animals like cats and dogs with inscribed names, potentially offering clues about the villa's owner. Other elements suggest possible connections to North African artistic traditions and indicate that the site was continuously used from the second century AD through later periods.
