The main design of the mosaic is made up of interweaving semi-circles, half black, half white. These shapes are followed by a panel decorated with elegant acanthus foliage, then a second panel where different geometric shapes are combined. In the four corners of the central box are four animals in motion: two are of “exotic” origin (a panther and a tiger) and two are from the region (a bear or dog and a boar). They could signify the seasons or the games practiced at the amphitheatre. Of the central panel, only the left section remains in which two people are shown standing in discussion. The person on the left, stood under an awning of some sort and wearing a short tunic, carries a mask and is leaning on a staff. The second person, dressed in a long tunic, is shown as being three-quarters under an arcature; he holds his right hand towards his interlocutor. This panel represents for some a scene from latin comedy, for others it is a shepherd asking for a hearing from a priest of Apollo at the sanctuary’s portico entrance. par File Upload Bot (Magnus Manske) (CC BY-SA 2.0)
