Battle of Hydaspes mosaic — The representation of Alexander the Great, and the most emblematic scene of the Battle of Hydaspes in the triclinium floor of Medusa House. This proves to be a documentary source of enormous importance in the study of Late Antiquity elites in Hispania. The dominus, a military man, possibly with added functions in the local administration (Abelterium, Lusitania) of the Empire, identifies with the conqueror of Asia, kosmókrator, as reference model of political and military career.
