Roman mosaic of the Maritime thermal baths of Baelo Claudia, illustrating marine species consumed in Roman times, as the moray and the sea urchin. This is one of the first examples of mosaics in the city of Baelo Claudia and it was discovered and reused in a secondary position (destroyed in another room), in a pool of the same thermal baths. The chronology of the mosaic with marine and aquatic motifs, indicates a date not beyond the second century A.D.
