DAY EXCURSION FROM FEZ :
Volubilis was a Roman settlement constructed on what was probably a Carthaginian city, dating from 3rd century BC. Volubilis was a central administrative city for this part of Roman Africa, responsible for the grain producing in this fertile region, and exports to Rome. Volubilis was also administering contacts with the Berber tribes which the Romans never managed to suppress, but who only came as far as to cooperate with the Romans for mutual benefits.
The Roman ruins contain a victory arch, impressive basilica and spectacular mosaics.
The site is dotted with oleander bushes and swathes of grass. The air is still and the Moroccan sky is cloudless and impossibly blue. Many of the mosaics, like these, tell stories from classical mythology (there is another magnificent one showing Diana turning a peeping Tom into a deer, and another, also glorious, of Bacchus finding the sleeping Ariadne).
