This image features a Roman mosaic from the 3rd century, depicting a nymph lying on a sea horse, accompanied by two playful dolphins. The mosaic originates from the ancient Roman city of Thysdrus, known today as El Djem in Tunisia, and showcases the intricate craftsmanship of Roman artisans. The mosaic is vibrantly colorful, with the figures of the nymph, sea horse, and dolphins rendered in rich tones that highlight their graceful and dynamic forms. The nymph is delicately portrayed, reclining atop the sea horse, her flowing hair and tranquil expression conveying a sense of serenity. The sea horse, with its elongated, curving body, and the two dolphins, gracefully positioned around her, create a harmonious aquatic scene, evoking the beauty and symbolism of the sea. This artwork reflects the Roman affinity for depicting mythological figures and marine life, celebrating both nature and mythology through masterful mosaic artistry.
