The Villa of Perseus, a suburban villa to the south of Ostia, was built in the early second century AD, and named after a statue of Perseus from the ruins. Here a large, fourth-century polychrome mosaic with personifications of months was found. The villa had its own, private baths. Presently they are covered with earth. They have not been published.
