Roman Villa

from viaavgvsta.anonai.com: "The Roman villa Torre Llauder (MatarĂ³, El Maresme) was built during the reign of the Emperor Augustus and went through significant transformations in later times. Most of the structures preserved can be dated from Severan times (late 2nd-early 3rd c. AD) and the virtual reconstruction shown here is based upon these. It must be said from the start that we have only dealt with the stately or "urban" part of the villa (the so-called pars urbana). An attempt to reconstruct the area for agricultural works (pars rustica) would have been too tentative, as there is not enough evidence preserved." Here is this excellent site as a pdf file
