Let yourself float on the gentle tides of the Mediterranean (even if only in your imagination in this moment). Feel the calm waters and the little fish brush past your fingertips. Wave to the passing squid with the long and short tentacles. #MosaicMonday #AncientRome

✨A Meditative Dionysus✨ This #MosaicMonday we feel the contemplative mood of Dionysus, represented in this C4th CE portrait from Daphne (Antioch), Antakya (modern Türkiye). With hints of a leopard skin and and abundant wreath, we wonder if the party is about to start or is truly over!

For #MosaicMonday a #Roman mosaic showing the labyrinth of the Minotaur on Crete. The monster’s head is depicted in the centre. The simple depiction is alluding to the myth of Theseus, in which the Greek hero slays the Minotaur in the labyrinth with the help of Ariadne’s thread. The mosaic was found in the peristyle of the House of the Fountain in Conimbriga/Portugal, dating 3rd century AD. #archaeology #romanarchaeology
