House of the Knight

Volubilis, a Berber-Roman city near Meknes, Morocco, may have been the capital of the Kingdom of Mauretania from the reign of King Juba II [1]. The settlement flourished from the 3rd century BC through the late 3rd century AD, reaching its peak under Roman rule [1]. The House of the Knight (Maison du Chevalier), a Roman domus within the site, contains well-preserved mosaic floors depicting mythological scenes including Bacchus and Ariadne [2]. The ruins include massive carved pillars, triumphal arches, and extensive residential structures that showcase the wealth and architectural sophistication of this ancient North African city [1][2].
