Comedy scene depicted in the Roman fresco from Stabia, now on display in the National Archaeological Museum (Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli) in Naples, Campania, Italy. Street musicians are depicted playing musical instruments often connected with the cult of Cybele: tambourine, small cymbals and double flute (tibia). The mosaic depicts an episode from a comedy, since the figures are wearing theatrical masks.
