Created by a Roman artist in the 3rd century AD, this masterpiece is now housed at the Musee des Antiquites Nationales in St. Germain-en-Laye, France. The image depicts a scene of laborious work and agricultural production as it captures the process of pressing olives to extract their precious oil. In this intricate mosaic, we witness the dedication and skill of workers engaged in this essential task. The piece beautifully encapsulates the fusion of art and human activity that was prevalent during the Roman Empire.
