Sven,
Even the most nicky-picky of us agree on Late period starting with the Tetrarchy. Therefore, Piazza Armerina is a Late Roman villa by all accounts! :wink:
Which pics are you referring to? The mosaic is from Piazza Armerina and the detail is from the silver Theodosius' missorium (say, end of IVth century)
Paul,
Yes, Piazza Armerina mosics were made during the First Tetrarchy but there are some interesting (rather crude) repairs to the Great Hunt mosaic, displaying 'propeller' belts, which would be Constantine/Constantius II.
I have not seen big square tabliones on cloaks earlier than Theodosius' missorium :?

It\'s all an accident, an accident of hands. Mine, others, all without mind, from one extreme to another, but neither works nor will ever.
