Late antiquity house with mosaics

On the Aegean island of Kos, within the ancient settlement that flourished across the archaic, classical, Hellenistic, and Roman periods, stands a late antiquity house distinguished by its mosaic floors. This residential structure, dating to late antiquity in the Roman-era Mediterranean around the third to fifth centuries, preserves the domestic architecture and artistic traditions of its age. Its mosaics offer a vivid window into the refined private life of the period, when such floors signaled both wealth and taste. A visit rewards anyone curious about how people of the ancient world lived and decorated their homes.
