View from the east of the House of the Drinking Contest at Seleucia Pieria, with mosaics in situ before they were lifted. This is the triclinium, a dining room with three couches for reclining. This room led into the portico (at the top of the photo) by means of a large door framed by columns. The mosaic of the Drinking Contest in the center is not to be confused with the Drinking Contest mosaic from the Atrium House. It was a common theme in pleasure-loving ancient Antioch.
