In December 2001, a Polish archaeological expedition from Warsaw University opened excavations at Ptolemais in the Cyrenaica. In the four field seasons (2001-2004) completed so far, the team has explored the central part of a richly decorated Roman villa, nicknamed Villa with a View. The main architectural stage of this complex and the relevant mural and mosaic floor decoration can be dated to Late Antonine and Severan times. Of the ten mosaic floors discovered so far, the eight published in this article have been excavated completely or in part, protected and documented. One uncovered in 2004 requires another season of work in the field before it can be studied. The tenth mosaic, illustrating an Achillean theme, will be discussed in a separate publication. For the most part, the floors are of an ornamental nature. Two contain mosaic inscriptions giving the name of the villa's owner. On one there is a figural panneau depicting a winged female figure. The most interesting, and excellently preserved, is a mosaic floor, presumably from a triclinium, with a multi-figural scene presenting a Dionysiac thiasos.

The present paper recapitulates the history (18-20th C.) and the current state-of-the-art in the research on the Christian archaeology in Poland as well as comprises both a glance at the field survey and synthetic studies and analysis of a single or group of artefacts performed by Polish researchers over the last fifty years. As regards the state of Polish research, the authoress applies generally accepted scientific principles relating to space and time of this discipline, viz. the subject of the Christian archaeology are artefacts dated from the early Christian period (confirmed in a material culture as late as in the 3rd C.) to the early Middle Ages and early Byzantine period (8th C.). It also comprises the area around the Mediterranean Sea: from Sudan to the Upper Egypt; over the southern Europe and the northern Africa to Syria, Palestine and even Crimea. The draft contains an extensive bibliography of the researcher mentioned in the text.
