TITLE: Dionysus Mosaik
ARTIST: Roman occupant of COlonia Claudia Ara Agrippinensis - now Cologne (Köln)
LOCATION: Römisch-Germanisches Museum
DESCRIPTION: During the second world war, excavations near the Dom (Cathedral) in Cologne (1941) uncovered a stunning mosaic that had been part of a Roman villa. The Romano-Germanic Museum was erected on the walls of the villa, over the mosaic, and officially opened in 1974 to house over three million Roman objects that were previously part of the Wallraf-Richartz Museum.
