Villa Hercules, Roman villa urbana in District III, Budapest, Hungary.
The villa features preserved residential spaces with intricate floor mosaics depicting mythological figures, geometric patterns, and plant motifs across multiple chambers.
Discovered in 1958 during school construction, the villa dates from the 2nd century AD when Aquincum served as the capital of Roman Pannonia.
The central mosaic presents a wine harvest celebration honoring Bacchus, depicting Hercules and Amor offering grapes to a tiger in detailed craftsmanship.
The archaeological site maintains protective glass walls over two sections, with the decorated hall visible from the ground floor of the adjacent school.
An extraordinary mosaic of Hercules with Deianira, created using 60,000 individual tiles, originated in Alexandria and now resides in the Aquincum Museum.
