Tunisian mosaics "Goat between two shrubs", 2nd century

This stamp reproduces a mosaic from El Jem (the ancient Thysdrus), dating from the end of the 2nd century AD. The work represents a goat with a full coat, standing proudly between two stylized shrubs. The precision of the work of the tesserae makes it possible to distinguish the ringed horns and the texture of the fleece, testifying to the pastoral and symbolic importance of this animal in the rural life of Roman Africa.
