Part of the border of the Megalopsychia Hunt Mosaic, which depicts a "day in the life" of fifth-century Antioch and Daphne and provides a guided tour from one to the other. This section of the border is along the bottom as you face the Megalopsychia, as here (it would be upside down to the viewer). This portion of the tour is in Daphne, the resort suburb of Antioch. Here a man sells refreshments from a table outside "The Covered Walk," a public place of recreation, which affords among other things an opportunity for a game resembling dominoes or checkers.450-75 AD, Yakto village near Daphne. Antakya Museum, inv. 1016. Information from Glanville Downey, Ancient Antioch (1963), illustration 56.
