I was in Naples briefly this summer and didn't get the chance to visit the museum- UNFORTUNATELY! Great pic. I think this mosaic, or something very similar, was used in the opening sequence of the HBO series, "Rome."

Yes, I knew the image from the television series "Rome", so was kind of surprised to see the real thing.

Nice mosaic! It shows some of the attributes of the collegia fabrorum: the carpenter's square and the plumb. Have you got more info about this mosaic? Villa of mysteries, Pompeii?

actually most mosaics in the museum are from the House of the Faun, Pompeii. But I don't know if this one is as well. I found alittl piece about it on a website:

"Death Levels All - Mosaic with skull, carpenter's square, butterfly and wheel. On one side of the level is a sceptre and royal purple robe. A beggar's staff and rags hang on the other side. From Pompeii, structure I, 5, 2." www.servius.org/Pompeii/pages/051111_0871WS.h tm
