Neptune Riding a Sea Chariot

This dynamic mosaic (2nd c. AD) from the frigidarium of the Terme dei Cisiarii portrays Neptune, god of the sea, wielding a trident as he rides a chariot drawn by sea horses. His muscular form and billowing drapery emphasize power and command. The image reflects themes of dominion and elemental force—linking the cleansing waters of the bath with divine sovereignty over the oceans.
