Mosaic floor in Villa Romana del Casale - Corridor of the Great Hunt

The mosaic in the corridor is very complex. It is a depiction of the capture of live wild beast in the most distant parts of the empire and their subsequent transport by ship to Rome for the venationes, fights involving wild animals that were held in Rome in the Colosseum and sometimes in the Circus Maximus and in other arenas.
