Title
Mosaic of Hercules' labors
Description
Depicting three labors of Hercules, this mosaic from the Baths of Gallienus shows the true extent of the Roman Empire. The three labors of Hercules's on this mosaic are the slaying of the Nemean lion, the Erymanthian Boar and the Stymphalian Birds. The fourth panel appears to be either a corner of a room or a reconstruction.
