In this image of an ancient Roman mosaic from the House of the Dionysian Procession in El-Jem (Thysdrus), dating back to the middle of the 2nd century A.D., we see a captivating scene unfold. The mosaic depicts a dramatic moment as a ferocious tiger leaps forward, mid-attack, towards two onagers, Asiatic wild asses. The intricate details of the mosaic capture the intensity of the encounter, with the tiger's muscles tensed and claws extended, and the onagers frozen in a moment of startled motion. Rich in historical significance, this mosaic offers a glimpse into the artistic prowess and cultural narratives of ancient Roman life, portraying the raw power and dynamic interactions of the natural world.
