Summary

[edit]
Description
English: On a floor in a house full of fine frescoes there were, in one mosaic, two portraits. Because of similarities with mosaics I know from other spots I take it they were Medusa and Dionysus. A site on the web mentions “[A] Few multicolored and figurative mosaics depict Triton, Nereids, Dionysos, Medusa, and a lion.” That would fit my attributions. The photographic conditions were decent, but not spectacular. The light was somewhat filtered, and as one walked on scaffolding rather than on the floors, perspective was a constant trouble. In particular isolating individual mosaics caused me a lot of trouble. I hope I got the dimensions in width and height about right.
