Mosaic floor in Villa Romana del Casale - the Triclinium - The Defeated Giants

Four of the giants have snake-legs, leave the central figure that has been tentatively identified as Enceladus, the giant that was killed when Athena threw a mountain over him. The mountain became the island of Sicily. The figures are very vivid in their agony.
