✨Cyrene ✨

This #MosaicMonday we celebrate the princess Cyrene who leant her name to the Greek colony in Libya. In myth she is known as the daughter of Hypseus, king of the Lapiths and the Naiad Chlidanope. Her sons by Apollo were Aristaeus and Idmon. Aristaeus sounds like the kind of god we’d love to met as he was the god of animal husbandry, bee-keeping and cheese making. Idmon became a famed seer. Cyrene herself was famous as a huntress, and reputedly called ‘lionkiller’, and was at times a companion of Artemis.

The cobblestone mosaics are a modern German speciality. They are commonly attributed to the paver Alois Krems. His work was inspired by pavings in southern France. In the late 19th century, as part of major road reconstruction works, several roads were repaved between 1901 and 1911. #MosaicMonday

✨Crocodile✨

May your #MosaicMonday go as well as this crocodile with a very wide smile! This ‘Nilotic’ mosaic was found on the Aventine and can now be enjoyed in the Palazzo Massimo alle Terme.

The Roman mosaic in Nennig, Germany, is one of the largest of Roman mosaic art of the 2nd and 3rd century. North of the Alps, this mosaic is one of the very few that remained at their original site. A local farmer discovered it in 1852 by accident. The mosaic was in a Roman villa. #MosaicMonday

And it's #MosaicMonday! I went to the Hillsdale Shopping Center in San Mateo, California today to make sure I got another chance to see the wonderful Benny Bufano sculptures before they tear the mall down as part of a planned redevelopment effort. (Tear-down date TBD)

I'd never noticed the mosaic pillars before.

✨ Cave Canem - Beware of dog✨

Monday off to a rough start? We’d be barking mad not to suggest you take a moment to enjoy this top doggo from Pompeii who was doing their best to keep the entry safe.
