Italy & Tunisia 2005 > Tunisia > Tunis

A mosaic from El Jem. Dionysus, holding a gecko by a leash, is surrounded by animals. (El Jem has its own museum with many mosaics, mostly from the villa of one yuppie collector). Notice that Dionysus's eyelids are drawn very close to the way that Garry Trudeau used to draw the Doonesbury characters in the 1970's, before he was rich enough to hire more talented South Koreans to do it for him.
