It’s #MosaicMonday in 🇦🇺 so here’s the cockerel-headed man of Brading Roman Villa. There’s been much discussion about this. My favourite interpretation is the villa owner, living in disgrace in Britannia, is making a joke about the emperor Constantius Gallus (cockerel in Latin) who exiled him.

A charming little octopus from a #Roman villa at Villaquejida, León, Spain. Limestone, 2nd-3rd century AD 🐙❤️ Museo Arqueológico Nacional, Madrid 📷 by me #MosaicMonday #Archaeology
My photo shows a mosaic fragment from the floor of a Roman villa in Spain, dated AD 100-200s. It depicts a stylised octopus using red, yellow, white, and black limestone tesserae, against an off-white background. The front-facing octopus appears almost cartoon-like, with a large red and white head and body outlined in black. Its yellow circular eyes are outlined in black with a central black dot which stare out at the viewer. Below the head and body are eight writhing arms.

This octopus and other fragmentary animal mosaics were discovered in the 19th century at the Hermitage of Santa Colomba, Villaquejida, León, which had been built on the site of a Roman villa.

#MosaicMonday at the #BritishMuseum speaks for all of us with this C4 floor #mosaic from #Halicarnassus with the face of #Phobos, Fear, blossoming like an evil flower within a series of classical #frames. Fear radiates outward. The symbolism is clear: step on your fear and go on. #AncientBluesky 🏺
MOSAIC WITH THE FACE OF PHOBOS, C4 CE. THE BRITISH MUSEUM

In 1856 the English archæologist Sir Charles Thomas Newton decided to go digging at Halicarnassus, modern Bodrum in Turkey, in search of one of the wonders of the ancient world, the Mausoleum. He found a late-antique "domos" built by a man called Charidemos, who helpfully left a verse in mosaic naming himself. He published copious excavation notes, a remarkably responsible thing to do at the dawn of modern archæology, and then carted off the mosaic floors he found to the BM, perhaps less responsibly. Here we see the screaming face, tongue out, of Phobos, Fear, at the centre of a floral design contained within round concentric frames including a beaded motif. Stylised vine leaves appear in black triangles to fill the corners of this square panel. Phobos has wild blond-orange hair. Walking over his face was a symbolic conquest of fear.
