The central medallion of the Megalopsychia Hunt Mosaic, featuring a labeled personification of Megalopsychia (Greatness of Soul).

Around this central medallion are hunting scenes involving Greek heroes like Adonis and Narcissus, and the mosaic is bordered by a remarkable tour of ancient Antioch and Daphne.
