Casa Romana di Vespasia Polla, Roman archaeological site in Spoleto, Italy.
The Casa Romana features a classic Roman atrium design with black and white mosaic floors and a central water collection basin called impluvium.
Discovered in 1885 by archaeologist Giuseppe Sordini, this first-century residence belonged to Vespasia Polla, mother of Roman Emperor Vespasian.
The residence displays elements of elevated Roman social status through its decorated floors, lead plumbing system, and architectural features typical of patrician houses.
Located beneath the Palazzo Comunale, the museum opens daily except Tuesdays from 10:00 to 13:30 and 14:00 to 17:30, with admission at 3 euros.
The excavation revealed an inscription dedicated to Emperor Caligula by a woman named Polla, connecting the house to the imperial family.
