- Title
Mosaicos de la Villa Astur-Romana de Camarzana de Tera (Zamora).
- Authors
Grande, F. Regueras
- Abstract
A study of tessellated pavements in the late Roman Villa of Camarzana de Tera (Zamora), whose existence is known since 1861 but only recently excavated (2007-2008). It's an important set of roman mosaics of great iconographic value (Europa's kidnapping, Ariane sleeping, Orpheus and the animals, several hunting scenes, Bacchic panthers, partridges pecking at grapes in a vineyard, four horses with epigraphs). Unfortunately, their condition is quite alarming as they are covered by a thin layer of soil. Hard to date exactly, IV century, due to style and some material criteria rather than stratigraphic ones, which are non-existent.
