That´s close enough. It is a Roman vivarium for fish near Antipolis. Over to you :-)
You can see it from above here, even the little sign they put up can be seen (little white square)..
I have a few mor pics I´ll post on the weekend. :-)

I like the idea of guessing sculptures from small fragments. Sometimes you immediately know it; sometimes you don't. I wonder if anyone recognizes which famous sculpture this little scene comes from. What is the name of the sculpture?

Not really sure, but is the Sarcophagus of Portonaccio with scenes from the Marcomanic wars?

You picked rather a well-known scene, Miha. But I suppose, either you recognize it, or you don't! Well spotted, Michael.

So who picks up the baton - me, for identifying the monument, or Jurjen, for identifying the scene?
