"Discovery of Lavish Ancient Roman Winery at Villa of the Quintilli Near Rome"

Archaeologists have discovered the remains of an 1,800-year-old winery at the Villa of the Quintilii outside of Rome, which was designed as much for the spectacle of wine-making as the practice itself. Decorated rooms around the winery appear to have hosted guests who would observe the wine-making process, and the finishes seem installed for appearances over practicality. The excavations reveal how ancient Roman elites reimagined the annual vintage as a 'theatrical' performance, prioritizing the experience of those observing over the practical needs of the workers.
