Leadenhall Street Mosaic

The mosaic from Roman Britain, features Bacchus riding on a tiger rather than the more usual spotted leopard, referring to the myth that the god visited India. Appropriately enough, the mosaic was discovered during building work on the premises of the east India Company in 1803 CE. From Leadenhall Street, London, UL, 1st or 2nd centuries CE. (The British Museum, London)
