The Sant’Elisabetta Roman Mosaic belonged to a large public baths complex. It is comprised of white and black tesserae and depicts the myth of Orpheus and the Beasts from the late 1st to the early 2nd Century. This mosaic is one of the most significent monuments from the period when Perugia was still a colony of Rome. It was named Sant’Elisabetta because of the small church existing next to it at the time of its discovery in 1875.
