Summary
| Description |
English: Dated to the mid-second century AD this mosaic depicting a mythological scene was uncovered in a Roman villa at the ancient city of Aigeai in Yumurtalık district of Adana. The mosaic depicts two erotes riding on two hippocampi and fishing with a rod, as well as other sea creatures. The wings of the Erotes are wide open and they hold the reins of their hippocampi with their left hands while holding the fishing rods in their right hands. The Eros on the left has caught a red mullet and the one on the right a seabass. The fish caught are accompanied with a smaller fish: on the left is a swordfish and on the right is a grouper. The fish on the left has a guest spiral seashell. In the bottom part of the mosaic are two fish and octopus figures. |
