In the south of Spain, in Estepona, there are the remains of a small Roman resort – Villa romana de Las Torres – located on the coast, right next to the Torre Guadalmansa lighthouse, from late medieval times.<\/p>\n
The center of economic and social life was a villa from the 2nd century CE, richly decorated with mosaics and marble columns. Five well-preserved mosaics depicting geometric figures were found in the villa, including: fragment of a marble column, ceramics and a small bronze bust of a woman. Numerous Roman coins were also found, from various periods – from the 1st to the 3rd century CE.<\/p>\n
The center was home to the production of the famous garum sauce, agriculture and sale of salted fish.<\/p>\n
According to researchers, the villa consisted of two parts: the urban part (it had an atrium or impluvium<\/em>), where the owner and family mainly stayed; and rural (warehouses or workshops), where slaves worked and industrial work took place. In late antiquity, a necropolis was established in the center.<\/p>\n
