For seventy years, archaeologists at Villa Romana del Casale in southern central Sicily have been uncovering the bond between ancient and modernity: women in bikini throw balls in bikini, cupid fishing, and seahors nailed on leopards. Now, the site generates another kind of inconsistency – a pair of triggers.
Sandals appear in mosaics Frigidarium Or cold bath in the southern bathroom of the villa Treptona Bibasis considered to be a woman involved in the management of this complex. The discovery was proposed in the Archlabs program of the University of Bologna’s summer school, which trains modern excavation techniques for students from 11 countries.
The trigger pattern proved to be stylish in late Roman bathroom decorations. Known examples are found in Spain, Cyprus, Cyprus, Jordan and Asia minors. Program Director Isabella Baldini said the theme marks the aristocratic and international character of the bathhouse, one of several markers of the social life of the villa.

The villa was systematically excavated for centuries only in the 1950s under the leadership of Gino Vinicio Gentili, and was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1997.

Nevertheless, the location is also fragile. Italian heritage groups have recently warned that there is no doubt that Moses Mox itself once celebrated the wealth and reach of the Roman elite, which is an irony.
