More about this scene

Fishbourne in West Sussex is by far the most impressive Roman building in Britain, and is rightly called a palace. It was probably built for a British chieftain, Cogidubnus, who was on the best of terms with the Romans. It is an early building which was started about AD75. The mosaic floor pictured shows in the centre a winged cupid riding a dolphin, with sea panthers and sea horses in the surrounding semi-circles.
