Description
The villa of Bruñel represents the typical model of Roman villa that begins to extend during the Lower Empire.
Most of these buildings are based as a second residence during the High Empire, although with the crisis of the third century and the insecurity of the cities many great aristocrats withdraw to their villages. As the residence becomes, the luxury and refinement of which the rich mosaics and the beginning of the walls of the different rooms are preserved as a testimony. Next to the Palaciega area there were other units with stables, with forges, alfares and, ultimately, everything necessary to be self-sufficient away from the city. Over time, the cities lost their importance, had to wafer to avoid dangers and the cultural spotlights that had gone out.
If we know nothing about the inhabitants of these luxurious rooms, we know less about those people who left the city to take refuge in these villas. They helped defend property in exchange for being able to cultivate a piece of land with which to get what is necessary to feed. Here is the origin of what would be the vasalage in the Middle Ages. Nor do we know how the craftsmen made these great mosaics, nor their living conditions, would they know that they represented the images they reproduced with the tesels? and the last inhabitants at the end of the fourth century?
