Floor mosaic, House of the Arpocrate, Solunto, Sicily, Italy
Mosaic tile floor with geometric pattern, possibly 1st century BC, from the House of the Arpocrate, situated over 2 levels, in the Phoenician city of Solunto, in Sicily, Italy. Its name came from a small group of bronze statues discovered here. The Phoenician village of Solunto was expanded by the Greeks after 396 BC and again by the Romans after 254 BC. It was abandoned soon after and rediscovered by archaeologists in the 16th century. Picture by Manuel Cohen
