The captivating image showcases the impressive House of Neptune and its intricate Labyrinth Mosaic, located in Italica, a significant ancient Roman city in the province of Seville, Andalusia, Spain. Founded in 206 BC by the Roman general Publius Cornelius Scipio, Italica served as an essential military and administrative center during the Roman Empire's Baetica period. The House of Neptune, also known as the Domus, is a remarkable architectural structure that dates back to the 1st and 2nd centuries AD.
