TOMB 30 (continuation)Tek

The mosaic looks like an imitation of a carpet. Three circles are depicted.
The outer two have flower decorations, the middle one a pigeon with olive branches. In the upper part we see a rectangle with the following inscription:

D(is) M(anibus)
ANTONIE
ACHAICE

"To the Di Manes of Antonia Achaice".

Although we presume that the mosaic once covered the floor near the biclinium, we cannot exclude that it was the cover of a burial place.
