LIBRA

Mosaics taken from patios and courtyards of rich Romans of ancient Carthage have been collected and reassembled in the Bardo. This is part of a huge mosaic showing all the signs of the zodiac and gods representing the days of the week. Many pieces in other parts are missing, however. Putting these artworks together must be like doing gigantic jigsaw puzzles.
