Notes
The mosaic panel is composed of two parts: a scene with two lions facing a medallion with inscription dated to the beginning of the 6th century. The acanthus scrolls of the border, added later in the century, contain a dog pursuing a hare; a duck; two partridges facing a flower; a rooster; and a bovine animal.
