Bulla Regia. Tunisia. View of the mosaic of Venus at the Roman villa known as the House of Amphitrite. The highlight of the Roman city, the underground basement residence is intact with columns separating rooms adorned with magnificent exquisite mosaics throughout especially the one depicting Venus. Situated in north-western Tunisia and lying in an extremely fertile region the ancient Roman city of Bulla Regia is famed for its unique and distinctive underground villas built by the wealthy Romans in the second and third centuries AD to escape the baking Tunisian summer heat.
