Mosaic floor in Villa Romana del Casale - the Triclinium - The Defeated Giants
In the eastern apse the Gigantomachy is depicted. During the war between the gods of Olympus and the Giants Hercules fought with bow and arrow on the part of the gods, and he killed several giants that way. In this mosaic five giants have been hit by the poisonous arrows of Hercules and strive to extract the deadly points from their bodies.
