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 image shows part of the bottom border, on the right side near the corner. On a principal street in Antioch, meat is prepared and sold on three-legged portable chopping blocks and a man purchases a round loaf of bread from a vendor with a portable table. Here the border turns the corner, where a vendor (displayed vertically; not shown in this photo) has his wares spread out on a table. 450-75 AD, Yakto village near Daphne. Antakya Museum, inv. 1016.
