Domestic mosaic, Italica, Andalucia, Spain originally uploaded by PhillipC.

Italica nova urbs, built in 119 A.D by Hadrian, whose birthplace this was. The project honoured Trajan, Hadrian's adoptive father, whose home town was also here. The vetus urbs - now mostly underneath the modern town of Santiponce - was built in 206 B.C.
