Domus Romana Lucca | Museo Archeologico a Lucca

This guide to the Domus Romana in Lucca opens with an unusual question about an ancient recipe, then leads you into a wealthy Roman's house discovered by accident in twenty ten beneath a sixteenth-century palazzo. You'll hear about its finely laid mosaic of a boy riding a dolphin, a coin struck for the emperor Tiberius, and the hypocaust that once warmed the floors beneath your feet. No one has identified who lived here, despite the evident wealth on display.
