[1] It was the seat of a rich latifundium estate, which until its discovery had few known examples except for the Villa Romana del Casale.

[4] The east–west orientation of the Aula Absidata, different from the north–south axis of the peristyle, raises doubts about its function and dating, suggesting that it might have been a church built after the owner had converted to Christianity.

The mosaic of the peristyle consists of a grid of square panels inserted in a frame of continuous laurel wreaths enriched with floral and ornamental motifs.

The quality of both polychrome mosaics is not very high, which indicates they were the product of a Sicilian workshop instead of North African craftsmen.

After the earthquake between the sixth and seventh centuries, the remains of the villa were partly restored and there was continuing habitation at least until the tenth c. AD.
