House of the Cascade, Roman home in Utique, Tunisia
The House of the Cascade features a large peristyle garden with a central shallow pool framed by marble masonry and semicircular niches.
The residence dates from the second century when Utique served as the capital of the Roman province of Africa after 146 BC.
Decorative mosaics within the house depict maritime scenes, including a panel showing Eros fishing from a boat among diverse aquatic creatures.
Visitors can explore the excavated residence, which occupies the largest section of insula II, revealing Roman architectural and engineering techniques.
The water system channels flow from a fountain jet into the pool through an advanced hydraulic engineering system developed by Romans.
