Mosaic of Roman Provinces

This black-and-white mosaic (early 2nd c. AD) from the Terme delle Province features personifications of four Roman provinces: Sicilia (triskelion), Hispania (woman with bound hair), Gallia (laurel-crowned profile), and Africa (bearded man with leonine features). These allegorical portraits celebrate Rome’s imperial unity and the cultural identity of its far-flung territories.
