Römische Villa Nennig, Roman villa in Nennig, Germany

The Roman Villa Nennig contains a 160-square-meter mosaic floor composed of over 3 million tiles depicting gladiatorial contests and amphitheater performances.

The villa dates from the third century AD and remained hidden until 1852 when a local farmer discovered the remains during agricultural work.

The mosaic medallions showcase detailed scenes of Roman entertainment, including musical performances with hydraulic organs and gladiatorial combat between different fighter types.

The archaeological site features a protective building with elevated viewing platforms that allow visitors to observe the entire mosaic floor layout.

The villa complex included a 140-meter-long facade with a two-story colonnade and three-story tower wings connected to gardens and thermal baths.
