Tiger and Hunter
This mosaic (2nd c. AD), from the Terme dei Sette Sapienti, presents a dramatic encounter between a tiger on the prowl and a nude hunter brandishing a weapon below. The contrast of poised predator and tense human figure captures the Roman fascination with taming wild forces—transforming the bathhouse floor into a stage of elite valor and symbolic conquest.
