Plato's Academy mosaic from House of T. Siminius Stephanus, Pompeii

The chosen theme for this mosaic is a group of philosophers characterized by the typical garments associated with Greek orators and philosophers of the classic period. The second and third figures from the left are thought to represent Lysias and Plato, and in the background there is a view of the acropolis of Athens.
Now it is in the Naples National Archaeological Museum
