   For today's
   #MosaicMonday
   a representation of a fish-skeleton on a so-called asarotos oikos mosaic found in a private house in Aquileia, dating 1st c. BC. Asarotos oikos ("unswept room") mosaics decorated the floors of triclinia, dining rooms. The foor seems to be covered with the debris of a meal, which were usually swept away, e. g. bones, poultry claws, seashells, fruit stones, grape-stalks.

   On display at the National Archaeological Museum of Aquileia.
