Abstract
This lively mosaic is divided into 3 registers, and is bordered by a crenellated dentello motif with florons. In the upper register, a boy strikes a hare with a venabulum. A second child stretches a hand forward. In the middle register, the children appear to be attacked by a rat and a rooster and are seeking help. In the lower register the hunting theme is resumed with a child hunting a peacock. The alcove mosaic is also in 3 registers. The first register shows 2 girls, possibly coronariae, picking flowers to place in wicker baskets. The second register shows a noble woman holding the ribbon of a woven wreath in her left hand while she picks up a flower from a basket. A young girl also holds up a basket of flowers. The last register shows a boy carrying 2 baskets of roses on his shoulders.
