Abstract
Abstract Caddeddi is a Roman villa near Noto in Sicily built in the second half of the fourth century ce . Overlooking the Tellaro River, the villa is imperfectly known, partly because of the collapse of the piano nobile on the north and east, and partly because a modern farm lies on top. Its most significant surviving features are four mosaics, one geometric and three figured. The latter show respectively the ransom of Hector; Bacchus and the fruits of the field; and a hunt scene (soldiers capturing beasts for the arena). As at Piazza Armerina these are likely to have been laid by mosaicists operating from Carthage.
