Description
  • Deutsch: Der große lateinische Dichter Virgil, in den Händen die Schrift Aeneid. Links steht die Muse "Klio" (Geschichte) und rechts steht die Muse "Melpomene" (Tragödie). Das Mosaik, das aus dem 3. Jahrhundert nach Christus stammt, wurde in der Hadrumetum in Sousse, Tunesien entdeckt und ist jetzt im Bardo-Museum in Tunis, Tunesien.
  • English: The great Latin poet, Virgil, holding a volume on which is written the Aenid. On either side stand the two muses: "Clio" (history) and "Melpomene" (tragedy). The mosaic, which dates from the 3rd Century A.D., was discovered in the Hadrumetum in Sousse, Tunisia and is now on display in the Bardo Museum in Tunis, Tunisia.
  • Italiano: Mosaico romano del III secolo d.C. che rappresenta Virgilio con in mano l'Eneide, tra le Muse Clio e Melpomene. Scoperto a Sousse, in Tunisia, ora è esposto nel Museo del Bardo a Tunisi.
  • Español: Mosaico con el poeta latino Virgilio junto a Clío, musa de la Historia, y Melpómene, musa de la Tragedia. Museo del Bardo, Túnez; hallado en Sousse. Siglo III d.C.
  • Français : Mosaïque romaine du IIIe siècle entourée d'une frise (Musée du Bardo). Au centre le poète latin Virgile assis, en toge blanche, avec en main le rouleau de L'Énéide, dont on peut déchiffrer le vers 8 :
    Musa, mihi causas memora, quo numine laeso
     (Muse, rappelle-moi les causes, par quelle volonté divine...). Le poète est entouré de deux Muses en robe pourpre, Clio, qui tient un parchemin, et Melpomène un masque de théâtre. Cette mosaïque est découverte vers 1870 à Sousse par Gian Maria Massa [1816-1890] dans le jardin d'une maison qu'il rénovait, et fut offerte au contrôleur civil de Sousse qui l'a remise au Musée de Sousse pour ensuite, être transférée à Tunis.
