This 4th-c. mosaic vividly portrays birds and fruits with intricate detail and saturated color. Hens, a goose, and ripe produce evoke the villa’s surrounding estates, symbolizing abundance, good fortune, and the pleasures of domestic life. Such scenes were popular in elite Roman homes, celebrating the prosperity and harmony that a well-run household was expected to display.
