Piazza Armerina, Roman Villa of Casale, which was probably an imperial urban palace. Today it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Detail of the floor mosaic in the corridor of the Grat Hunt. Detail with the capture of a wild boar.In spite of the name with which it is known (The Great Hunt), the subject of the floor mosaic represents a great capture. It does not represent hunting.Wild beasts are captured for the games in the amphitheatres of the Roman Empire: no animal is in fact shot down and hunters use only weapons to defend themselves.
