In a floor of a triclinium one of the panels is that of a skeleton, with a text “Euphrosynos”: “enjoy, have fun, cheer up”. A notice explains that in the 1st century BC skeletons started to be used. This mosaic is from the 3rd or 4th century when scenes of bathing and banquets (convivium) represent the most important activities of Roman socio-cultural life. I also show a picture of a photo showing the excavations.
A panel next to the skeleton shows what is explained as a man pointing at a sundial, with a word near him "Trechedipnos" or "run for dinner", further to his right a man has "Akairos" (Ill timed), so the scene shows a latecomer or a parasite, for a dinner.
