✨The Triumph of Venus✨
This #MosaicMonday we celebrate Venus in all her 4th Century CE glory! This mosaic shows Venus travelling the sea while supported by two centaur seahorses. The lowest register shows fisherman enjoying the fruits of the sea. Packed with detail, this mosaic is a feast!

For this #MosaicMonday, a couple of examples of elephants in the Piazzale delle Corporazioni in Ostia. One in close-up but another included in a wider view to show the context for those who aren't familiar (yet?) with the wonders of Ostia.

A 'low-budget' but rather charming mosaic from Abbots Ann, Hampshire.
It would have welcomed guests to a small villa, which was the final phase of a farmstead originating in an Iron Age ‘banjo enclosure’.
C.3/4, now in the British Museum.

Sometimes human interference with the environment can have bizarre consequences. This deep-sea coral species (Desmophyllum dianthus) is found throughout the world’s oceans. Nothing unusual here – except the piece you are looking at grew around a fibre-optic telephone cable.

A bonus post for this #MosaicMonday. Ever puzzled over why Neptune has crab claws and Oceanus has a trident in some RB mosaics? My thoughts have just been published in the latest Journal of Mosaic Research. Open access, so feel free to enjoy! 1/2

A real President ……….
Sixty-two years ago today, November 22, 1963, President John F. Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. He was shot while riding in an open-top car and died later at Parkland Hospital. The event, which occurred at 12:30 p.m. CST, was a moment of national tragedy.

Isca: Near the barack buildings were communal toilets, and at one end of the complex you can see the remains of a bread oven.
You can also see remains of the fortress walls, a gate and corner turret, cookhouses, and latrine drains.
