Male Swimmer in Poseidon’s Retinue

This figure from the Baths of Neptune mosaics (2nd c. AD) depicts a youthful male swimmer, nude and in motion, extending his arm toward a marine creature. Likely a mortal or lesser sea spirit, he contributes to the vivid pageantry of Poseidon’s procession, celebrating the vitality, grace, and mythic allure of the ocean realm.
