The mosaic looks like an imitation of a carpet. Three circles are
depicted.
The outmost two do have flower-decorations, the middle one a pigeon
with olive-branches. In the upper part we see a rectangle with the
following inscription:
D
. M .
ANTONIE
.
ACHAICE
.
"To the Di Manes of Antonia Achaice".
Although we presume that the mosaic once covered
the floor of the biclinium, one cannot exclude that it was the cover
of a burial place. (click
