VI.12.2 Pompeii. 1833. Drawing of mosaic emblema of a lion, found in centre of triclinium floor, room 42 (but room 40 on Breton original plan).

According to Breton, when found this was badly damaged, and for that reason was not taken to the Museum.

See Breton, Ernest. 1870. Pompeia, Guide de visite a Pompei, 3rd ed. Paris, Guerin.

According to Pagano and Prisciandaro, this beautiful mosaic of a lion was found in many fragments.

It was found in 1831, see PAH II, 250.
