Mosaic of the Terme dei Cisiarii

This black-and-white floor mosaic (2nd c. AD) decorated the Terme dei Cisiarii, a public bath named after the guild of cart drivers (cisiarii). The imagery celebrates trade and transportation with detailed scenes of horses, chariots, and inscriptions naming professions or sponsors. Blending function with identity, it reflects the communal pride and visual storytelling central to Ostian bath culture.
