| Description |
Panel of roman mosaic found during excavations in Cordoba. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Depicted people |
The mosaic depicts an actor in the role of a reciter declaiming the text of a tragedy. Dressed in a short tunic and a cape, he wears a mask on his face which also serves as a megaphone. He is wearing cothurns, which were physically attached to the mosaic to give a sense of relief. He is looking for his way with the help of a stick in the manner of the blind: This may be a theatrical representation of Sophocles' Oedipus, a myth that was frequently depicted in sculptures and wall paintings of the period. |

| Depicted place | The perspective is created by the skènè in the background of the composition. This building, with its four supports and flat roof, served as a stage; It is one of the oldest representations of a theatre. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Date | between late 1st century and early 2nd century AD | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Medium | The richly coloured figure is a tessellation of red, blue-green and yellowish-pink glass pastes which contrast with a background of ochre tones in different grades of red lead. As was customary, it was to be surrounded by a decorative border of geometrical patterns which has not been preserved. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
