For #MosaicMonday a #Roman mosaic showing the labyrinth of the Minotaur on Crete. The monster’s head is depicted in the centre. The simple depiction is alluding to the myth of Theseus, in which the Greek hero slays the Minotaur in the labyrinth with the help of Ariadne’s thread.

The mosaic was found in the peristyle of the House of the Fountain in Conimbriga/Portugal, dating 3rd century AD.
