The Partial Historians✨Thalassa, divine personification of the sea✨
Thalassa is thought to have mythological connections to the Mesopotamian goddess Tiamet, as well as the Titan Tethys, which further connects Thalassa as a potential mother of Aphrodite.
Ulla Rajala"Tomb of the Julii" (Mausoleum "M") is in the Vatican Necropolis beneath St. Peter's Basilica. The structure has a vaulted ceiling with a mosaic depicting a solar deity with an aureole riding in his chariot, with a framing of vine leaves. The other mosaics have Christian motifs. #MosaicMonday
✨Belated #MosaicMonday with a mosaic thought to personify Autumn✨
We must confess to enjoying the long weekend and entirely missing Monday, but we’re back now! In our corner of the globe, autumn is upon us - though it might very well be the warmest autumn in quite some time. To honour the season, we offer this beautiful mosaic. It’s provenance is not ideal but it is thought to date to the 2nd to 3rd century CE.

Detail of a Roman floor mosaic depicting a border of an inhabited acanthus spiral (rinceau) including two birds and an insect. Originally part of a bath from the Via S. Lorenzo in Panisperna (1888). Dated second to early first century BC. Now in the Capitoline Museums. #MosaicMonday
✨Orpheus✨
This #MosaicMonday we celebrate Orpheus, whose musical gifts were such that he was capable of attracting all manner of animals to his side. In this mosaic panel, found near Edessa and dated to 194 CE, Orpheus plays his lyre and predator and prey alike are soothed by his song.
For #MosaicMonday a detail of a mosaic in the basilica of #Aquileia depicting #snails in a basket.
The meaning of the motif is unclear. It was suggested that it is a symbol of resurrection, as snails are hibernating animals. But it was also argued that the motif is a symbolic representation of the dishes most favoured by the upper class during holy feasts.
Dating 4th century AD.
