What's for dinner? A detail of the mosaic floor of the triclinium of a house in Thessaloniki (250-300 AD). The lack of maritime context in these mosaics suggests to some that the fish are seen here primarily as food #mosaicmonday

Oooooh I’m going to give this a listen! 👻

Oooooooh!! That’s great to know! Thank you so much for flagging this 😃

Great thread about an amazing site on the Via Appia called Tres Tabernae. Important site but not widely known about/visited. 😃😃

I’m very envious! I’ll have to try and see if I can join a tour of it one day! 😃

This is wonderful! Thanks for posting all the details about this site! 😍

Absolutely! It’s a gem of a mosaic!

😍 beautiful!

Yes!! That would be AMAZING!! 🤩

Glad to hear this!! #extrasnac is vital! Xx

Definitely #extrasnac! That’s a must 😘

Soooo wish I could have been there to meet you both in person! 😃

Good piggy Pepe!! Keep it up! 😍🐹❤️

Go Pepe!! Keep taking those meds to make you feel better xxx

Haha! Yes they do look a bit miffed, don’t they! I guess I’d be pretty annoyed with people walking on me all the time too! 🤣😂

This fab black and white mosaic is at the entrance to the House of Marcus Caesius Blandus. I love how its marine theme - with its dolphins, hippocampus, trident and rudder- and the crenellated city wall at the top, hint at life in #Pompeii overlooking the Bay of Naples 😍 #archaeology #MosaicMonday

I love the fact you have now made #Pompeii into a verb!! Definitely adding to my vocabulary!! X

Here are the remains of a lockable strongbox (arca) in The House of the Vettii #Pompeii. Found in the front reception room (atrium), it stored money and valuables - displaying the owner’s wealth and power to visitors. #FindsFriday #Archaeology

Just fabulous! 😍😍😃

Ohhhh so lovely to see you both again! Too gorgeous by far! 😍😍😍 sending strokes and #snac! ❤️❤️
