TUNIS, Nov 17 (KUNA) -- The archaeological park known as the Roman Villas is situated on one of the hills of ancient Carthage, presenting well-preserved remains dating to the Roman period and illustrating refined residential architectural styles.
These villas derive their name from the luxurious aristocratic residences of the Roman era, and they occupy the scenic Odeon Hill, the one of four prominent heights in Carthage.
Built atop a Punic cemetery from the Hellenistic period, the district follows the cadastral plan introduced under Emperor Augustus, dividing the area into standardized urban blocks that reflect prevailing aristocratic architectural norms of its time.
Alongside its residential buildings, it includes the Odeon Theater for musical and literary performances and several spaces decorated with mosaic and marble floors, forming a cultural landmark that attracts researchers throughout the year. (end)
