@olena I am suitably doubtful of most of the social media info as well - for instance, I couldnāt confirm it as being held in the Louvre (a common attribution in the social media posts). I went with āpurportedā as again the connection to Hadrianās villa is also unresolved in my book. The style though, in terms of the mosaic work itself, is plausibly ancient based on my years of looking at examples of mosaics from across Roman history. Itās certainly the case that the provenance may be murky while the artefact itself is still ancient. Iām very open to being wrong though!
