ABSTRACTThe Roman Villa of Casale allows us to know the amazing artistic and manufacturing creativity of the Romans. Thanks to the Romans, who arrived in Piazza Armerina from the 3rd century BC. up to the 1st sec. A.D., they decided to create 3,500 square meters of mosaics on the floors and walls of the rooms of the entire villa. The mosaic scenes represent hunting and fishing scenes, chariot races, Ulysses and Polyphemus, musical and sporting competitions. The Romans were inspired by the gods of Greek mythology and
Odyssey. The following rooms are very suggestive: the anointing room, the gym to warm up their body before bathing in the spa (Calidarium, Frigidarium, Tepidarium), the Great Hunt and the room with the girls in bikinis.
