I live on Vancouver Island, enjoy reading, walking and sharing photos of the wonderful scenery. Gerri, was a much loved pup, who sadly crossed the rainbow bridge, years ago.

My photo shows the monochrome mosaic floor of the women’s changing room at the Central Baths in Herculaneum. Black tessarae (mosaic tiles) are used to depict the sea god Triton, who is holding a club over his left shoulder and a small fish in his right hand. He is surrounded by a cherub, dolphins, octopus, and a squid. Set against a white tile background.

Here’s a fuller view of the mosaic floor in the women’s changing room (apodyterium) at the Central Baths in Herculaneum. The monochrome floor mosaic depicts a marine scene featuring the spectacular octopus together with the sea god Triton, a cherub, dolphins, and a squid.

Aeonian: Prologue Aeonian is a novel I am publishing in serial form, two chapters per week, on both Medium and Substack, to reach a wider audience.

A diary found at the back of a bookshelf in a local library brings excitement and solace to a lonely young woman seeking peace, but as events of the past begin to happen again in the present, the reader must ask herself… what is her connection to this story?
