Turkey, Zeugma, House of the Gypsy Girl-The Gypsy Girl (Maenad) Mosaic, close-up

This mosaic was found in the dining room of the House of the Gypsy Girl, dating from the Roman period. The figure became the symbol of Zeugma because of the mysterious look she had in her eyes. When it could not be identified it got named "Gypsy" because of the woman's resemblance with Gypsies. But some sources draw attention to the wine in the mosaic and claim that she is a Maenad (female worshipper of Dionysus).
