Large felines (lions, tigers, jaguars and leopards) were a popular theme in Roman mosaics all over the Empire. So today’s post is a photo essay of mosaics with big cats.
From Roma
From Britannia

Tesserae of Travels Through Life - Words, photos and moments of mosaics.
Wow! That was more than a moment of mosaic. Amazing work. Vancouver Islanders are fortunate to have their own large felines. Cougars are seen fairly often on our property . . . a little further back in the woods and once on Echo Drive by the mailbox. I have been fortunate enough not to have had that experience, yet.
Thanks Margo.
