According to the authors, we have to do with a village center of the first centuries AD since the beginning of the century. III was replaced by a rural cottage (rustica). The mosaic room with an abbey was its main ambiance. The authors also think that in the nineteenth century. V-VI the place of the villa occupied a paleochristian basilica. The excavated part of the monument was surrounded and protected by the Institute of Monuments of Culture (IMK). During the years 2003-2004, the works of the systemisation of various roads and installations of the block "Partizani" discovered near the siege of the monument other parts of the complex. The most important here were the tubs of fermentation of grape must, but also other parts of the walls in two...

The mosaic is amazing and very beautiful but it's really bad conserved. When I was there they were building something made by concrete on the historical wall. For me this is a damage to all the humanity because we should preserve our history and not build on it. I was so disappointed this was one of most beauty things in Tirana and they don't valorate it. They should treat it like a treasure amd for me that I'm from Rome this broke my heart.

Mozaiku i Tiranës është i vetmi monument arkeologjik brenda territorit të qytetit të Tiranës. Në vitin 1972, gjatë punës për ndërtimin e pallateve të bllokut “Partizani” në lagjen nr. 9 të qytetit të Tiranës, u zbuluan rrënojat e një ndërtese antike, njëri nga ambientet e të cilit ishte i shtruar me mozaik. Sipas autorëve, kemi të bëjmë me një qendër fshatare të shekujve të parë pas Krishtit që në fillim të shek. III u zëvendësua me një vilë fshatare (rustica). Salla me mozaik e pajisur dhe me një absidë ishte ambienti kryesor i saj. Autorët mendojnë edhe që në shek. V-VI vendin e vilës e zuri një bazilikë paleokristiane. Pjesa e gërmuar e monumentit u rrethua dhe u vu në mbrojtje nga Instituti i Monumenteve të Kulturës (IMK). Gjatë viteve 2003-2004 punimet e sistemimit të rrugëve dhe instalimeve të ndryshme të bllokut “Partizani” zbuluan pranë rrethimit të monumentit pjesë të tjera të kompleksit. Më kryesoret këtu ishin vaskat e fermentimit të mushtit të rrushit, por edhe pjesë të tjera muresh në dy pika të ndryshme.

Il mosaico in se rapresenta non solo un valore culturale e di arte ma é importante perche testimonia l'esistenza della vita sociale gia dall antichita nella zona di Tirana. Il mosaico e parte di una villa rustica alla romana dell secondo secolo doppo Christo. Comunque fin ora solo questa villa e stata trovata e non ci sono altri scavi per evidenziare se e stata un insula( zona urbana ) . Storicamente Tirana( che vuol dire Ti-r-ana = të rri anash-- stare ai lati dell fiume) come centro urbano si documenta agli inizi dell 17 secolo, anno1610 si riconosce la costruzione della prima moschea , pazzar, hamam, il fornaio e altri tipici costruzzioni musulmani fatti dall Sulejman Pasha Bargjini un nobile albanese parte dell administrazzione ottomana.
