EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning mosaic, titled "Peñaubía de Castro: Clunia Sulpicia," is a captivating piece of Roman art hailing from the early imperial period, around the 1st to 3rd centuries AD. Discovered in the ruins of the Taracena Domus in the ancient Roman colony of Clunia, located in the province of Burgos, Castile, Spain, this mosaic once adorned the floor of a wealthy Roman villa. The mosaic depicts a scene from Roman mythology, featuring the goddess Sulpicia, who was believed to be the protector of the Roman colony of Clunia. She is shown here in the company of the goddess Ceres, holding a cornucopia and a torch, symbolizing abundance and fertility. The intricate design also includes various other mythological figures, as well as geometric patterns and stylized floral motifs. This exquisite mosaic is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of ancient Spain and the Roman Empire. It provides valuable insights into the artistic and architectural traditions of the time, as well as the daily life and beliefs of the Roman colonists who once inhabited this region. The delicate and intricate details of the mosaic are a reminder of the advanced craftsmanship and artistic skills of the Roman artisans who created it. The Taracena Domus, where this mosaic was discovered, is just one of the many archaeological sites in Spain that offer a glimpse into the fascinating history of the Roman Empire in Europe. This mosaic, with its vibrant colors and intricate design, continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world, offering a window into the past and a reminder of the enduring legacy of Roman art.
