There were discovered early christian bazilicas and remnants of palaces and villas, Domus Fullonica (a complex of connected shops and residences),amphitheater, even casino and jail… Stobi is known for its well preserved mosaics floors, especially in the baptiserium in basilica. Total of 18 floor mosaics were discovered here.
And how would your life in Stobi look if you would live there? Imagine the sun, only couple of thousand years younger … You are a rich trade man living in the House of Peristerius. You are wearing white frilled tunic, maybe even a laurel wreath on your head (if you like a fashion look). Your sandals step on the marble floor of Via Principalis Inferior on your way to Central Basilica to pray and honor Jupiter, Dionysus and Hera to secure their help and protection. Then, and after a light breakfast (only wine and figs, since you have overdo eating of roasted lamb and mead last night and now you have terrible headache) you are going to Magnae Thermae where a beautiful slave women will give you bath and massage with aromatic oils. After that you are ready to do your business. In the evening, you will enjoy a dinner with your family (roasted lamb and mead again), and after that, you hurry to the casino, where your friends are awaiting for you with the marble gamble tables, dices and wine. Life can be so difficult sometimes…
