Dionysosmosaik, Roman floor artwork in Romano-Germanic Museum, Germany
The Dionysus mosaic, measuring 70 square meters, displays intricate patterns and detailed scenes from Roman mythology in black and white tesserae.
Workers discovered this third-century Roman villa mosaic during the construction of an air raid shelter in 1941, leading to significant archaeological findings.
The mosaic illustrates scenes from the life of Dionysus through detailed imagery, reflecting Roman artistic techniques and mythological narratives.
The mosaic remains in its original location within the museum's basement, visible through large glass windows from the Roncalli square.
The museum's architecture incorporates the ancient Roman street layout, positioning the mosaic exactly where it was found 1800 years ago.
