Plato's academy Mosaic emblema in opus vermiculatum made from polychrome tesserae. The mosaic depicts a group of philosophers, identifiable from their clothes and the symbols of their science, who are deep in discussion beneath a tree, between a votive column and a sacred gate with vases. In the distance there is a walled city. The scene is surrounded by a festoon of leaves and fruits, adorned with ribbons and comic masks. Pompeii, Villa of T. Siminius Stephanus Early 1st century BC
