In function of their application to a peripheral territorial of the Baetica, this mosaic shows a special manifestations characterized by the crudeness and the free recreation of the subjects. Finally, a complete mosaic from a roman villa rustica located in the environs of the city of Ituci (Tejada la Nueva) is analyzed.
