LA COCOSA
Badajoz, Spain.
A Roman villa
16 km S of Badajoz has been excavated, dating from the
4th c. A.D. but modified during the Christian era. Pottery
from the 1st and 2d c. and coins from Agrippa to Arcadius have also been found. The original building consists
of a large peristyle, a number of rooms, three of which
had mosaic pavements, and baths. The finds are in the
