Museo Civico, Rimini, Italy
Museo Civico, Rimini, Italy
2007

The excellent Museo Civico in Rimini boasts some remarkable mosaics, including the massive maritime mosaic featuring ships entering port, as well as a full-scale reconstruction of the “House of the Surgeon," a domus with intricate floor mosaics found in the Rimini center (the actual site is nearby and under excavation).
The museum's garden courtyard features a Lapidary - a display of ancient Roman inscriptions in the garden courtyard. With the assistance of the museum staff, I was able to photograph and make rubbings of many of the ancient inscriptions.
