Two Roman mosaics from Lusitania have been highlighted, one of which depicts a drunken Hercules (above) and a Medusa head (below). These mosaics were first discovered at the Roman villa of Rabaçal in central Portugal in 2023.

The Roman Empire divided Iberia into three provinces: Lusitania (modern day Portugal and western Spain), as well as Baetica and Terraconensis.
