    The objective of our work is to study for the frst time a Roman mosaic from the Roman Villa of Sendim, within the framework of a project coordinated by Fátima Abraços. This project aims to survey and analyse the Roman mosaics belonging to the Conuentus Bracaraugustanus, whose capital city was Bracara Augusta. The Villa, in the parish of Sendim, Felgueiras, Porto, is part of the mentioned Conuentus. Its excavation began in 1992, with the uncovering of several compartments of a domus and of structures belonging to the balnea. Later, the musealisation of the archaeological site was carried out with the conservation in situ of the mosaic fragments found in a cubiculum. The collected archaeological material established the occupation of the Villa between the 1st and 6th centuries AD. It also ascertained that the domus had a phase of restructuring and expansion between the end of the 3rd century and the end of the 4th century. This would correspond to the completion of the analysed mosaic.
