Re: Alexander Mosaic
Fascinating! And so obvious ... once it's stated clearly by someone else! I mean, OK, it's only conjecture; but it makes a lot of sense.sikander wrote:In case some of you may not have seen the latest tidbit:

Thanks, Sikander.

Re: Alexander Mosaic
Oh, I am laughing at myself now...I admit that I truly enjoyed reading this article. Just amazing to think that I recently explained why I had never wanted to be someone's doormat, and now, I see this story about the Roman's making a mosaic that they can stand on! Oh boy! Thanks, Sikander, the timing of this is utterly humorous to me! OHHHHHHHH 
But what a great article!

One thing they never did to Alexander was treat him like a doormat - and even when the mosaic was made they avoided treading on him!
