Image description

Piazza Armerina, Roman Villa of Casale, which was probably an imperial urban palace. Today it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Detail of the floor mosaic in the corridor of the Great Hunt. Detail with the capture of a wild boar.In spite of the name with which it is known (The Great Hunt), the subject of the floor mosaic represents a great capture. It does not represent hunting. Wild beasts are captured for the games in the amphitheatres of the Roman Empire: no animal is in fact shot down and hunters use only weapons to defend themselves. Piazza Armerina, Villa romana del Casale che probabilmente era palazzo imperiale urbano. Oggi è Patrimonio dell'umanita dell'UNESCO. Particolare del mosaico pavimentale nel corridoio della Grande Caccia. Particolare con cattura di un cinghiale.A dispetto del nome con cui è conosciuto, il soggetto del mosaico pavimentale rappresenta una grande battuta di cattura, non caccia, di bestie selvatiche per i giochi negli anfiteatri dell'impero a Roma: nessun animale viene infatti abbattuto ed i cacciatori usano le armi solo per difendersi.
