The Roman villa of Rabaçal in Rabaçal near Penela was located near the Roman road from Olisipo to Bracara Augusta in Portugal [1]. The excavations begun in 1984 exposed the layout of a villa, the center of which is an octagonal peristyle around which the other rooms are grouped symmetrically [1]. The pars rustica was located in the north, the pars urbana in the western areas [1].
