Venus at her toilet

In a marine setting, Venus stands nude on an islet, wringing her long locks between her hands, assisted by two winged spirits who offer her a mirror and a jewel box. The rest of the mosaic shows little winged spirits manÏuvering two small boats that are entering a port suggested by a porch.

Late 2nd or early 3rd c. AD(Lamta Museum).
