The Bulla Regia site is located in northwest Tunisia, in a rich and prosperous region thanks to its agriculture and olive production. In the first century AD, it became one of the cities controlled by the Roman Empire and, it was under Hadrian's control when it was promoted to Colonia Aelia Adriana Bulla Regia. The city progressed to reach its zenith in the early 3rd century AD, reflecting this wealth in the construction and redevelopment of some of the city's most luxurious private spaces. Several domestic spacesof this city had floors decorated with polychrome mosaics and sometimes pictorial vestiges, still preserved in situ. Some of the mosaics show refined geometric and plant compositions, while others show a diverse range of figured themes...
