Discovered in 1921 by the director of the neighbouring Banque de France, this domus, a true aristocratic residence, belongs to a series of richly decorated houses revealed in recent years in the Boucle by preventive archaeology (see catalogue of the exhibition De Vesontio in Besançon, 2008).
The remains uncovered in the UFR courtyard include a hypocaust heater, a succession of rooms forming a gallery on the ground covered with three different mosaics, and two other rooms also decorated with geometric mosaics.
