What makes this mosaic particularly intriguing is the presence of panthers alongside the angels. The panthers, known for their strength and grace, are often depicted in Roman art as symbols of power and nobility. The juxtaposition of these majestic creatures with the heavenly figures adds a sense of contrast and intrigue to the composition.
