Antakya mosaic Bios and Tryphe.

view map

Tryphe was the Greek personification of "Good Life" (the museum catalogue that I used calls it "drunkenness"). Finding Bios turned into a nightmare, since computers monopolized the term. It used to be "Life" (and not bad, if we look at the picture). From Antakya, third century AD, inv. 862. Both recline on a pillow with a goblet in the hand.
