Mosaic Floor

photo

View of a large mosaic floor from a villa. Second century A.D. In the center is a head of Dionysus (the god of entertainment/wine; or Medusa?) who has fruit and ivy in his hair. Note the vases in each of the four corners with ivy flowing from them.

Compare the very similar mosaic found at Pergamum!

Artifact on display in the museum at Corinth.
