Gerace is a Roman landed estate near Enna in central Sicily. The principal excavated features are late Roman: a storehouse of ca. 300
ce
, destroyed in a mid‐fourth‐century earthquake, a small unfinished villa ca. 375
ce
with two geometric mosaics, and a bath‐house of ca. 380, entirely excavated. The last was in use until an earthquake severely damaged it ca. 475, after which it was stripped and filled in. The geometric mosaics were smashed in this process, but the cold room's floor escaped: it has an inscription on all four sides and gives us the estate name, the
praedia Philippianorum
