The
Cathedral of Reggio Emilia (
Italian Duomo) is one the three main religious building in
Reggio Emilia (
Emilia-Romagna, northern
Italy). Built originally in
Romanesque style, it was largely modified in the following centuries.
In February 2009 it was announced that a Roman mosaic floor filled with scenes depicting pagan rites and oriental gods was discovered underneath the Cathedral. The mosaic pavement, which measures 13 square meters and dates to the 4th century AD, was unearthed at a depth of about 4 meters below the ground during archaeological investigations in the crypt of the Cathedral.
