| Abstract: |
The author considers the fourth-century Bellerophon pavement in the Romano-British villa at Frampton, Dorset (recorded in an engraving by Samuel Lysons published in 1813), which presented a series of figures and scenes apparently drawn from Greek myths and deities but also included a prominent Christian chi-rho monogram, as well as a pair of Latin inscriptions apparently referring to adjacent figures. The paper examines the meaning of the inscriptions, and considers whether they shed light on what the images of the mosaic meant to the patron who commissioned it. |
