Villa Vivios, Roman villa ruins in Lespignan, France
Located at an elevation of 14 meters, Villa Vivios contains architectural elements and foundations that demonstrate the structure of Roman residential buildings.
The villa, which dates from the High Empire to Late Empire periods, received classification as a historical monument on January 25, 1971.
Archaeological excavations at Villa Vivios revealed mosaics and artifacts that reflect the living standards and artistic practices of Gallo-Roman civilization.
The villa remains stand on private property, requiring visitors to check local authorities for access permissions and guided tour schedules.
Research suggests the name Vivios may originate from the Latin word bivium, referring to a road bifurcation present in the 18th century.
