MOSAIC EMBLEMA WITH LION, 70 BCE - 10 CE. THE BRITISH MUSEUM This mosaic emblema or central floor panel is made with small tiles, a style known as opus vermiculatum, "wormy work". This panel must once have decorated the floor of a room in a wealthy house. The panel, predominantly of tiny yellow tesseræ against a white background, with details in red and black, shows a lion with his tongue hanging out, at least three of his four limbs bound by resolute-looking Erotes of varying sizes. Behind one of his hind legs and the Eros who is binding it is a bowl on the ground: we might infer that the lion, symbol of strength, is drunk as a sailor. An Eros behind the lion seems to be about to prod or bash him with a kind of speargun. In front of the lion and above him are Erotes with cymbals and a red cloth to enrage him like a bull. In the background is a tall figure in long robes, Dionysus himself, holding a thyrsus. The message is clear: nothing is stronger than the god of wine.

For #MosaicMonday at the #BritishMuseum, an #emblema from an unknown #domus in #Naples with a #Dionysiac theme. A bound #lion is taunted by four #Erotes as the god himself watches from a hilltop. A bowl in the foreground may have contained wine. Strength cannot resist #Dionysus. #AncientBluesky 🏺
