Archaeological Vandalism
#7
This mosaic was one of the best we had in Spain. It is clearly a robbery commisioned from some collector. In the near city of Clunia there has been some other robberys of big pieces. It happens to be that my first reenactment event was in that village, in 2005. The locals had a a good ammount of their economy based in tourism related to the Villa. So the collector has not only stealed a patrimonial asset, but also the bread from many locals.

In Spain we have a large roman heritage, but its protection... well, now with the crisis, is even less effective. Sad
