The Partial Historians✨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.
Virginicus@phistorians I can’t help noticing that the crocodile is swimming away from a fisherman who seems to be missing his left arm.
@Virginicus dangerous times 👀👀😅
Fardels BearHow doth the little crocodile
Improve his shining tail
And pour the waters of the Nile
On every golden scale!
How cheerfully he seems to grin,
How neatly spreads his claws,
And welcomes little fishes in
With gently smiling jaws!
- Lewis Carroll
@riggbeck delightful!
