Rome's legacy

Of particular interest at the entrance to this hall is the magnificent Circus mosaic, from the Roman era (4th century AD). It was probably the floor of a luxury home in ancient Barcino. In the mid 3rd century the political, economic and social structures of
the Roman Empire begin to undergo a process of decline. Christianity is imposed as a new religion.

This hall documents the cultural continuity and the importance of Christianity in the Late roman world.
