All wrong so far, but all three are in the correct country. It's indeed somewhere in Greece.

Aegospotmoi?
Edit: Delete that! It's not in Greece :roll:
Naupactos?

Ah, hang on - is it Pylos? (if I'm allowed another guess!)

Quote:Ah, hang on - is it Pylos?Yup, the isle to the left is Sphacteria, where the Spartans were isolated; to the right is Pylos, where the Athenians built their fortress. There's more here.
Over to you Nathan.

Right! Here's something a bit different, possibly quite easy...
A representation of the ancient division of labour: two women doing all the work while a man lounges around in the sun...
But where would you find this mosaic?

Tunisia?
Re: Quiz - Nathan Ross - 08-09-2012
Neither, I'm afraid.
Try further west, perhaps...

Then it must be Spain; interesting. It's sufficiently nice to make a detour.

I think I do, but I don't have the book with the name of the image. Is it in Seville-ish area?

I have now been googling for at least an hour and a half... I cannot find any mosaicos romanos from España with mujeres and a caballo. I think you must give us another clue!
Re: Quiz - Manius Acilius Italicus - 08-11-2012
Not being as classically educated in the Roman period as many of you, I have been pouring over every site of photos I could find for mosaics of this description for three days without any luck. I concour we are stumped and need more clues.
