Beautiful sunset at the Roman Forum in Rome, Italy. Visible key landmarks include ancient columns from the Temple of Saturn and the Arch of Septimius Severus. The scene showcases the city's ancient ruins bathed in the golden light of the evening. #travels #roman #italy #sunset

For #MosaicMonday this fantastic photo of a mosaic (and a lovely fish 🐟) that was discovered in the submerged ruins of #Roman Baiae. Photo: Parco Archeologico Campi Flegrei
The photo was taken underwater. It shows a partially uncovered mosaic on the ground of the sea and a fish swimming above it.

A charming little octopus from a #Roman villa at Villaquejida, León, Spain. Limestone, 2nd-3rd century AD 🐙❤️ Museo Arqueológico Nacional, Madrid 📷 by me #MosaicMonday #Archaeology
My photo shows a mosaic fragment from the floor of a Roman villa in Spain, dated AD 100-200s. It depicts a stylised octopus using red, yellow, white, and black limestone tesserae, against an off-white background. The front-facing octopus appears almost cartoon-like, with a large red and white head and body outlined in black. Its yellow circular eyes are outlined in black with a central black dot which stare out at the viewer. Below the head and body are eight writhing arms.

This octopus and other fragmentary animal mosaics were discovered in the 19th century at the Hermitage of Santa Colomba, Villaquejida, León, which had been built on the site of a Roman villa.
