No pictures with the articles. That would be very interesting indeed. Thanks for posting this.

Man, I hate it when there are no pictures. Especially when the whole point is how something looks.

"...Viewed one way up it is a bald old man with a beard, but turned the other way round it is a beardless youth. Roberto Cereghino, a government archaeological official... said it appeared to be a depiction of Bacchus. The double face is surrounded by objects that were used in Bacchanalian rites: an ancient musical instrument, the sistrum, a two-handed drinking bowl, and a priestly wand...."

Found the picture



Who knew?

Archaeologists studying an ancient mosaic found by workers laying cable .... a depiction of Bacchus. The double face is surrounded by objects that were used in Bacchanalian rites....

I laid some pipe once at a Bacchanalian Rite.

But that's another story for another time.

No offense, however I think the article would have been better suited to include a picture of the mosaic, don't you think?

Neat!

They're the experts but you've got to wonder is there is a misidentification here.

Janus was a two-faced god, the god of portals and thresholds, of coming in and going out, of past and future held simultaneously in a single, encompassing perspective.
