More than 4,000 fres of frescoes have been recovered in excavations of 2nd-century Roman villas at Villajoyosa on the southeastern coast of Spain. The fragments have just been haunted by the protectors of Vilamuseu, the city’s archaeological museum, but they have revealed rich decorations that mimic the architectural features, such as grooved columns with curved stucco decorations, which give the mural a 3D look.

This work has been carried out in total at 842 square meters. [9063 square feet]which allows archaeologists to discover part of the floor plan of the villa, built during the reign of Emperor Trajan, part of which is for industrial purposes, a terrace or atrium with different rooms (probably for the use of servants), and finally a large open-air space, with large columns placed on the large columns for the garden and the statistical room, and in the statistical room, there are both statistical rooms and statistical rooms. Only this part of the foundation still exists.

The murals discovered by the Romans Mural fragments excavatedThe walls were built with bumping dirt (bumping clay) and seemed to collapse in the courtyard of the room and porch. One of the stately rooms retains the entire collapse of its walls, and its excavation is a very thorough task as the fragments of paint are retained. Each segment or group of fragments is merged by the company’s own restorator and Vilamuseu’s restorator, and each layer of the stucco is numbered and photogrammetry (full, full-scale photographs not broadcasted) to list them, which will give the idea of ​​the original composition.

The origins of Villajoyosa are built on the top of the charming Costa Blanca in today’s Spain, overlooking the beach, dating back to the Bronze Age. In the 7th century BC, the Phoenicians established a colony there, the 8th colony of Spain, a stepping stone on the coastal trade route, leading to their Gadir colony (the modern-day Cádiz), located in the Atlantic region of the idol.

The murals discovered by the Romans Fragments of muralThe local Celtic population is known as the city of Aron, known as the Greek Alonis, at the site since at least the 4th century BC, but the Phoenicians are still there, as the remains of the Carthage industrial site date back to the 3rd century. After Carthage’s defeat in the Second Anonymous War (218-210 B.C.), its territory in southern Spain fell under Rome’s control and became part of the new Spanish province. During the Sertorian War in 83 BC, the Romans built a military fort there, and they controlled the access to the harbor of Aron.

Under Rome, the city flourished from trade, thanks to its location on the Mediterranean and its connection to the land route, and was granted privileged status by Emperor Vespasian in 74 AD. The Imperial era city was grand, with huge temples, public bathrooms, a new commercial port and associated commercial areas, quarries, aqueducts, and luxury residences in numerous countries and suburbs.
