Summary[edit]

Description

Piazza Armerina (EN), ITA - Dal lato di fondo orientale del peristilio si accede al corridoio sopraelevato della "Grande Caccia" (65,93 m di lunghezza e 5 m di larghezza), con le estremità absidate. Su questo corridoio, elemento di raccordo e separazione tra parte pubblica e privata, si aprivano la grande sala absidata di rappresentanza e gli appartamenti padronali. L'importanza era sottolineata dal portico che si apre nella sua parte centrale verso il peristilio e dalla leggera soprelevazione: vi accedevano due scale dai bracci nord e sud del peristilio, e una terza centrale, di fronte all'ingresso della grande sala absidata.

A dispetto del nome con cui è conosciuto, il soggetto del mosaico pavimentale rappresenta una grande battuta di cattura, non caccia, di bestie selvatiche per i giochi dell'anfiteatro a Roma: nessun animale viene infatti abbattuto ed i cacciatori usano le armi solo per difendersi. Le caratteristiche tecniche, unite all'analisi delle cesure evidenti sullo sfondo del mosaico, hanno consentito di individuare 7 scene, eseguite da due gruppi distinti di mosaicisti.
