Description:

From the Aventine Hill, Rome, possibly from the Baths of Decius (Thermae Decianae). The mosaic represents two masks leaning on a socle projecting out from two walls. One mask represents Tragedy, the other Comedy. Two flutes also lean against the wall behind the mask of Tragedy. On the mask of Comedy is a crown of ivy and berries, decoration associated with the cult of Dionysus, which was linked closely to the birth of the Greek theater.
