Mosaic of Hypnos

Just outside the town where we stayed at in Montenegro is a recovered Roman House/trading post. The city of Risan sits at the crossroads of old trade routes.





The mosaics and foundation have been excavated and are shown as found. The outline of the house and central atrium can still be seen. It was cool.

The mosaics include the only known image of Hypnos, the God of Sleep, found in floor mosaics anywhere. It's kind of cool. The Hypnos figure is also the only mosaic in more than two colors.


And just a picture of me and the Bay. The city of Perast, where we stayed, is in the background.

 

It was humid. I am not pretty in humidity.

Sometimes I despair at age. But this gives me hope.

 I mean, I don't want a child, but I think she is older than Tony Randel. Unlike Tony, she pushed this out!
