Fishbourne Roman Palace Writes:
For Blue Monday we can't think of anything more appropriate than this charming depiction of a man getting his face eaten off by a leopard. #MosaicMonday
There's an ancient (looks to be Roman) mosaic of a man having his face eaten by a Leopard-Luke animal. Someone may be using the man as a shield (pieces are missing) and a javelin appears to have just missed either the leopard or the man.

Fishbourne Roman Palace replies:
Nope. Once again we've dropped a banging post completely unintentionally.

It's January 20th, the celebration of MLK Jr., and something else I'm pretending to forget about.
