I’m two episodes into #Sirens and I must say, I’m living for the drama. A millennial take on “The Stepford Wives” with a great added dosage of sibling dynamics.

Imperial rest stops were far from drab military barracks. In this bathhouse along the Via Prenestina, travelling officials soaked next to #Odysseus and the #Sirens in #mosaic form. Like the hero, the emperor's messengers were bound to enjoy their brief stay. #MosaicMonday #AncientBluesky 🏺
FLOOR MOSAIC OF ODYSSEUS AND THE SIRENS, C2 CE WITH LATER LATIN ADDITIONS. BATHS OF DIOCLETIAN 

Here we see a large black-and-white floor mosaic from a thermal suite in a roadside waystation (mansio) at Quarto di Corzano, depicting Odysseus bound to the mast of his ship while his crew rows past a Siren playing a lyre. The main C2 scene incorporates Greek tituli including ΟΔΥΣΣΕΥΣ (Odysseus) and ΣΕΙΡΗΝ (Siren), displaying the elevated literary culture expected by high-ranking travellers on official state business. Along the bottom border, later Latin panels convert the floor into a lively roadside billboard, praising the proprietor Precionus, wishing good luck with [N]OBIS FORTVNA ("good fortune to us"), and alluding to rainy weather and abundant warm bathwaters. Rather than an austere government post, this state-funded highway complex provided civilised comfort, allowing weary officials to take refuge from the road outside and toast their host.
