For #MosaicMonday the mosaic in the so-called winter triclinium of the #Roman villa at Antandros. A kantharos and birds are depicted in the centre of a circle consisting of alternating triangles in different colours. The villa dates back to the 4th century AD.
Antandros is located in the ancient Troas region, 2 km east of the town of Altınoluk, western #Turkey.
