Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: In the lower part of the frame in the back room are two dolphins above a few horizontal lines indicating the sea. In the upper part is a depiction of the Claudian lighthouse in Portus. On the top floor, below the fire, is a white, vertical line with a bowl-shape on top. The fire burning on top is flanked by two black patches with 45 degree angles. The left one is considerably wider than the right one.
The branch in the lower part of the front room is presumably a grain ear, but there are no seeds (cf. stationes 17 and 56). There is no reason to think that the two black patches flanking the fire of the lighthouse are restorations, they are part of the design. Smoke could be a useful signal during the daytime, but this would be a strange way to depict it. We can also reject the idea that they depict the light emitted by the lighthouse. A burning fire does not create a beam of light, as modern lighthouses do. |
