Domus del chirurgo
Home > Emilia-Romagna > Rimini > Rimini > Domus del chirurgo
The Domus del Chirurgo is a house (Domus) dating back to the III century d.C. and situated in Piazza Ferrari in Rimini. Excavation work began in 1989 and bought to the light some very interesting archeological material.
Presigious mosaics and fresco's, these last showing fish in the sea and describe a residence for private or professional use. In the room with the elgant mosaic by Orfeo, a rich supply of surgical instruments were found: tongs, scalpels, scales, and bronze measures. In fact, this area is known as the "Surgeon's House".
It is very probable that the surgeon was of Greek origin, this is deducted by the inscriptions found in Greek characters. The structure, which was articulated on two floors, was destroyed by fire at the time of the Barbaric Invasions.
