Mosaics are Cool

 I love mosaics. The ones below are from Ostia Antica. First the main mosaic at the Baths of Neptune. I think this might technically not be mosaic, since it's all inlaid panels of stone, but it's amazing nonetheless. From Ostia Antica. I think this fellow is a bath attendant with his bucket and strigil. Note the depiction of Romulus and Remus with the female wolf. Below here are ones from the Plaza of the Guilds at Ostia Antica. Look this up it's very cool. The final ones are from museums in Rome.

 This site really rewards wandering around. Be sure not to miss the big sights, such as the Theater, the Square of the Guilds, the mosaic at the Baths of Neptune, etc. but do just take some time to wander away from the main areas. Like Rome, Ostia Antica rewards aimless wandering.
