During work to replace gas pipes in the northern Italian city of Verona, archaeologists have unearthed a stunning 5th century mosaic which they now claim was part of a huge villa which could have belonged to King Theodoric himself. Montorio: Home to Many Archaeological Treasures in Verona Montorio, located in the northeast of Verona, is not new to archaeologists. This Veronese hamlet has produced a plethora of important artifacts over the years dating back to the Roman era, including several from the very same villa which once contained the stunning so-called Theodoric the Great mosaic. In fact, the first findings from this auspicious site were discovered back 1908. Many of these discoveries are on display at the Archaeological Civic Museum
