A #Roman mosaic fragment depicting the head (well, helmet) of a #gladiator. This mosaic (& many others) was discovered in 1834 in the remains of a villa on the Borghese family estate at Torrenova (Rome). Maybe a fan of the games once lived in the villa? 🏺 AncientBlueSky #MosaicMonday #Archaeology

This mosaic depicts, on different perspectival planes, a few gladiator scenes (munera) and a panther hunt, (venatio). It is one of the Borghese mosaics, four large and two smaller ones, dug from the cryptoporticus of a large suburban villa at Torrenova in 1834. #MosaicMonday

#MosaicMonday presents us with a pair of particularly grotesque #gladiators, now in the floor of the Salone of the #GalleriaBorghese in #Rome. These may be caricatures of gladiators, famous for their gigantic physiques. They come from a #mosaic #pavement from an imperial #villa. #AncientBluesky 🏺

When I went to Majorca, our hotel was sold as Palmanova, but was actually on the Torrenova promontory, separating the two beaches, just opposite the steps down to Magaluf Beach.

Uscita di #torrenova a #romasud, guardate il video

A Roma si dice "ma che davero davero?" 🤔

Ma come si fa a mandare DUE scavatori SOPRA a tagliare il collegamento tra due impalcati in quel modo?!?!?
