| Abstract: |
The author discusses the identity of the figures depicted in three mosaics: from Room 12 at Brading, Isle of Wight; from Room B at Frampton, Dorset; and from the Grand Mosaic at Pitney, Somerset. It is argued that the figures at Brading depict Attis with Sagaritis or a generic water nymph; those at Frampton are Paris with Venus; and those at Pitney are Paris again, facing Syrinx but originally having been intended to face Venus, who is depicted elsewhere facing Mercury (who is more usually depicted in combination with Syrinx). |
