TOMB 30 (continuation)
The mosaic looks like an imitation of a carpet. Three circles are
depicted.
The outer two have flower decorations, the middle one a pigeon
with olive branches. In the upper part we see a rectangle with the
following inscription:
D(is) M(anibus)
ANTONIE
ACHAICE
"To the Di Manes of Antonia Achaice".
Although we presume that the mosaic once covered
the floor near the biclinium, we cannot exclude that it was the cover
of a burial place.
