It is an impressive pavement from the 2nd century measuring 8.30 x 5.90 meters discovered in 1989 during some works around the Central Market. It is part of a large Roman house that was located next to the walls. It is the most luxurious mosaic that could be extracted during the excavation. It preserves a flowery-style decoration that was also used in the Italian peninsula. In the open spaces, various musical instruments are represented, such as cymbals, rhytons, flutes and eardrums, and containers such as craters and pitchers. All of them are elements related to the courtships of the God Bacchus.
