Thanks for this mosaic Markus Aurelius Montanvs.I got it somwhere on my old computer and I cant find it again on the internet as I fogot place of this mosaic.Those guys are Odysseus,Achilles(having that peacock crest i think),king Priam and some other(less famous guy never played by any Hollywood star :grin: )
Toupha triumphal crown is known from other sources as well.For example Collosal statue of Justinian which once standed in front of Hagia Sophia being biggest from all victory collumns ever made by the Romans also hade toupha very prominently included.
Villa Romana del Tellaro is strikingly similar in style of execution as well as fashion it shows so we can be almost certain it is from the very same time as those from Piazza Armerina.
Some other nice shoots from it(all can be find in much better resolution on the internet):
