Wether he did or not, that mosaic is an amazing piece of work. Almost makes me want to start working on making my own mosaic.

Lucius,
I know what you mean. I was lucky enough to see this in the Bardo Museum up close, and it really is a fantastic piece of work.

How much of of the work around the image said to be Virgil is intact? I'm having a little trouble finding more information on this that I can in fact, comprehend (Although that's more than likely me doing something wrong).

As far as I recall the whole mosaic was not much larger than the picture I have posted. It is mounted on one wall of a room in the Bardo Museum in Tunisia. I would say from memory it is a maximm of 6 feet square.

Quote:Lucius, Ahh, I appreciate it, thank you! I can't begin to come close to that size and quality, but I'm definately inspired to do some mosaic work, now.
