@katesfwriter.bsky.socialAlthough it is Augustan in origin, the Piazzale delle Corporazioni in #OstiaAntica was enlarged and the buildings subdivided to house local and foreign shipowner’s and merchant’s collegia or guilds. The black and white mosaics date from the mid 2nd C AD.

@archaeohawke.bsky.social#Roman mosaic discovered in #Spain, Villa de Noheda, Villar de Domingo García
During the Roman occupation of Spain, there lived a man who was so wealthy that he could have his wine shipped all the way from Syria. One of the largest mosaics ever found. #Archaeology

@brittunculus.bsky.socialOn #MosaicMonday a pair of winged cupids dressed as gladiators face off in the dining room of Bignor Roman Villa (W Sussex).
The heavily-armoured Secutor rushes forward, short-sword outstretched, to attack a Retarius desperately fending him off with a trident.

@anthonymajanlahti.bsky.socialFor #MosaicMonday, a sacro-idyllic #emblema from Hadrian's Villa. Notice the famously priapic goat seeking an anatomy lesson from a phallic votive tablet, alongside an unusually androgynous #Dionysus in female dress. A bit of rustic irony for an imperial dining room. #AncientBluesky 🏺
