I'm sure it's not really! But who knows eh?... Wink

Incidentally, I wondered which of the horses in the mosaic is the named one. Chariot races went anti-clockwise, I believe, so presumably the drivers would put their best horse on the left of the team, as a leader. So Compressore would be the righthand horse in the picture - the happy-looking one wearing a sort of necklace... Probably any Roman spectator looking at the picture would know this at once!
