mosaic of dining couple
with 2 female slaves; Roman, second century CE
larger view;
detail of couple.
This mosaic was found at a Roman villa at Centocelle near Rome. The scene is set outdoors, since there is fabric tied to a tree to provide shade over the couple. The woman reclines on
a pillow; the couch (lectus) is covered with a drape. She gazes soulfully into the
eyes of a bare-chested man. In the background is a statue, possibly of the goddess Diana.
