Villa Romana de Río Verde

Villa Romana de Río Verde is a Roman villa on the coast of Marbella, Spain, at the mouth of the Río Verde river [1]. The site represents the pars urbana (residential section) of an affluent coastal villa, while the pars rustica (farm section) would have been dedicated to marine exploitation and fish salting [1] [2]. This economic activity was profitable for coastal settlements in the Baetic region during the Roman era [1].
