#MosaicMonday brings us to the #BathsofCaracalla where the gigantic #mosaic floors still in situ show us precisely what we don't expect from #Caracalla , a magnificent elegance on a grand scale not found elsewhere in #Rome .
The ‘Severan Tondo’ depicting Septimius Severus, his wife Julia Domna, and their sons Caracalla & Geta (face scratched out). Painted on wood, the imperial portrait dates to around 200 AD, and originated from Egypt. On display at the Altes Museum in Berlin. #Woodensday 📸 My own
