🖼️Intact Roman Mosaic Found in Herculaneum's Women's Baths

🖼️The Triton mosaic, an example of skilled black and white Roman artistry, was discovered intact on the floor of the women's changing room (Apodyterium) in the Central Baths of Herculaneum. Created before the 79 AD eruption, the mosaic dynamically features the sea god surrounded by dolphins, octopuses, cuttlefish, and cherubs, perfectly illustrating the common marine theme used in public bathing facilities.

😗 Curiosity : Unlike many mosaics and frescoes which were removed and taken to the Naples Archaeological Museum (MANN), the Triton mosaic remains in situ (in its original place) on the floor of the changing room at the Herculaneum archaeological site.

📍location : Location: Found in the women's changing room (Apodyterium) of the Central Baths in Herculaneum.
