Asset Overview

Mosaic with gods and mythological scenes preserved in the Roman villa of Carranque (Toledo, Spain). The residential part of the Roman villa of Carranque preserves one of the best collections of Roman mosaics in Spain. Most of the mosaics have been dated to the 4th century AD. In this case, we see Aphrodite at the center of the scene. In the corners there is the representation of Minerva, Diana and Hercules. Love scenes have been incorporated on the sides: the abduction of Hylas, Pyramus and Thisbe, the abduction of Amymone, and Neptune and Diana's bath. These mosaics decorated the "cubiculum" or bedroom. At the entrance of the room it is possible to read an inscription with the name of the owner of the villa: Materno. 3D model made in Reality Capture using 207 images. Additional processing completed in Geomagic Wrap, Zbrush, Substance Designer, and Blender.
