Villa Silene
Villa Silene is a luxurious ancient Roman coastal estate located near Khoms along the Mediterranean shore of Libya. Uncovered by archaeologists in the 1970s, this opulent second-century seaside mansion features exquisite floor mosaics, marble courtyards, and wall frescoes depicting mythological scenes, sea gods, and gladiatorial games. Local oral accounts describe ghostly apparitions of Roman aristocrats wandering through the garden peristyle, mysterious music echoing near the seaside terraces, and unexplained cold drafts inside the private bath chambers.
