VILLA HERCULE (HERCULES VILLA)
Villa housing the administrators of the city of Aquincum, with some of the finest mosaic floors in ancient Pannonia.
The villa (2nd-3rd centuries), where the administrators of the Roman city of Aquincum lived, has the most beautiful mosaic floors of ancient Pannonia. We find in particular the hero Hercules fighting the centaur Nessus (it is a mosaic imported from Alexandria). The baths were also equipped with mosaics. Their entrance room (apodyterium) represents a boxing scene with a victorious boxer, his opponent, on the ground, bloody.
