Il manque cependant des repères et des explications.
The site had activity from the Hellenic period through to the start of the Byzantine era. Much of it is from the Roman Empire.
The visitor's Centre has some items for sale, but the most important thing is that it has a large TV with some video of work that has been carried out. We saw the efforts to preserve a mosaic by lifting it up onto a wooden cylinder, then being preserved before replacing it on the original site.
Although there is a lot to see, a great deal of the archeology has been excavated, preserved, and then re-buried for future historians.
There are wooden walkways that take you up over certain key sections; including important buildings. However, watch out as some of the hand rails are getting a bit loose.
Many of the floors still have beautiful mosaics that you can enjoy. Some of the pathways also have small sections of mosaic that you can walk on; and reflect that both patrician and plebeian Romans would have walked on the same spot nearly 2000 years ago.
As you walk around, you can clearly see doorways, passageways, bathing areas, kitchens; it takes only a small amount of imagination to fill in the missing bits.
Even if you only have a passing interest in history, I think that you will not fail to be highly impressed.
Note that those over 65 can now get entry for free. The site may be a bit challenging for those with mobility issues, but there are a few places to stop and rest. There are also toilets which I found to be clean and well maintained.
Facile d'accès, le principal intérêt c'est les mosaïques au sol en très bon état.
Une partie du parc est gratuit à l'Est de la route principale. Il peut éventuellement suffire pour les petits budgets.
