EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Glimpse into the Past: The House of Hylas in Italica, Andalusia, Spain" 2.. This photograph showcases the intricately preserved mosaic floor of the House of Hylas, a Domus Roman (Roman house) located in the ancient city of Italica, in the province of Seville, Andalusia, Spain. Founded in 206 BC by the Roman general Publius Cornelius Scipio, Italica was an essential Roman settlement in Hispania, the Roman province of Spain. The House of Hylas, named after the mythological figure Hylas, is a remarkable example of the opulence and sophistication of Roman domestic architecture. The mosaic, adorning the floor of one of its rooms, dates back to the 1st and 2nd centuries AD. The geometric patterns and mathematical designs, reminiscent of the era's advanced understanding of geometry and mathematics, are still vibrant and well-preserved. The House of Hylas is a testament to the rich history of Italica, which flourished during the Roman period, with famous Roman emperors such as Hadrian and Trajan having connections to the city. The ruins of this ancient Roman city, now known as Santiponce, offer a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing valuable insights into the art, culture, and daily life of the Roman Empire. The photograph captures the exterior of the House of Hylas, with its impressive mosaic floor visible through the open doorway. The surrounding scenery, with its lush greenery and clear blue sky, adds to the serene and picturesque atmosphere, making it an ideal subject for any history or archaeology enthusiast. This photograph is an excellent reminder of the enduring legacy of the Roman Empire and the remarkable preservation of its ancient treasures. The House of Hylas in Italica, with its stunning mosaic, stands as a testament to the ingenuity, artistry, and cultural influence of the Roman civilization.
