A perky sea bull with an equally perky pomegranate lurking above him. He was (and maybe still is?*) swimming around Venus in one of the fabulous Frampton mosaics. From Samuel Lysons, Reliquiae Britannico-Romanae, 1813-1817, I.III, pl. IV.

* a quest for @durotrigesdig.bsky.social !

#MosaicMonday
A coloured engraving of a mosaic showing a detail of a sea bull with a coiled tail. The bull swims towards the left with some leaves in front of his hooves. Above him is a pomegranate with two leaves.

The Issue explores Heliodorus' Aethiopica and how non-Greeks use paideia to perform "Greekness" while embracing foreignness, reflecting immigrant experiences past and present

‘Mosaics from the Church of the Nativity, Bethlehem’ is a drawing done by William Harvey in 1909. It shows illustrations of the mosaics in the Church, which were completed by around 1167. The Church itself is a large five-aisled basilica leading to the cave of the Nativity.
