For this week's #MosaicMonday, here is a mosaic from Trier depicting the philosopher Anaximander of Miletus (c. 610–c. 546 BC), who is credited with inventing the sundial. The mosaic dates to the 3rd century AD. 📷 Rheinisches Landesmuseum Trier

A spectacular mosaic! Those braided borders are amazing.

My favorite philosophy course was "The Pre-Socratics." Sigh.

It's astounding to me when ancient relics and artwork are in such incredible condition. We were at the Yale University Art Gallery yesterday in their ancient art galleries. So fascinating... and my son will be studying archaeology (not at Yale).

A of M: "I created a pretty damn cool way of measuring time and nearly 900 years later they *finally* get around to making a mosaic of me? Bit late, if you ask me..."

was at that very museum in June and somehow missed Anaximander, who Carlo Rovelli called the first real scientist.

Beautiful work….High Artistry😍.
