The only figural mosaic discovered in Sirmium (modern-day Sremska Mitrovica, Serbia) depicts Mercury, the Roman god of commerce, communication, travelers and trickery, as well as the guide of souls to the underworld.

Dating from the 3rd century AD, this extraordinary mosaic was carefully conserved and restored, with the work completed in 2014. Today, it can be seen displayed on one of the walls of the protective building that shelters the Imperial Palace.

The Necropolis of Carmona

Roman necropolises were extensive cemeteries that were required by law to be located outside city walls to comply with both religious and hygienic regulations. They were organized along the access roads leading into the city, mirroring the social structure of the living: the most ostentatious tombs were placed closest to the road, while more modest burials were situated further back.

The Roman Necropolis of Carmona in Seville, located at the southern end of the Ruta Via de la Plata, is one of the most significant funerary sites on this route due to its excellent state of preservation. It dates back to approximately the 1st century AD. Within the site, the most frequent burial ritual was cremation.

The most common type of burial in this necropolis is the collective mausoleum, consisting of a family-style underground chamber. These are accessed via a stepped shaft. The chambers are typically quadrangular, featuring a bench that runs along the lower part of the walls for placing offerings, with niches carved out above it. In some chambers, traces of the doors that once sealed them remain; others would have been closed with a stone slab.

The most prominent tombs are the Tomb of the Elephant and the Tomb of Servilia.
