Calliope and the seven wise men mosaic


Calliope and the seven wise men mosaic, Baalbeck, 3rd century A.D.


Archaeologists found this mosaic while excavating the site of a roman era villa in Soueidie, Ras el-‘Ayn, Baalbek. At the center of the mosaic,
a large frame is dedicated for Kaliope, the muse of philosophy. She is surrounded by Socrates and seven of the most preeminent philosophers of ancient Greece.
