In Sicily, we visited Villa Casale, an early 4th Century Roman villa. It has an incredible collection of well-preserved mosaics. Here's one:  A scene from the Polyphemus story from Homer's Odyssey.   The Romans changed the story a bit--note that the giant has not one, but three eyes, and he devoured a ram rather than several of Odysseus' comrades.
