<p>Etruscan bronze mirror depicting the god Silenus - god of drinking and tutor of Dionysus - playing the lute, accompanied by a dancing nymph. The scene is framed by birds, below, and a cat(-like creature) above. <br />
<br />
To be completely honest, I am not sure this is a representation of a domestic cat and not a more wild relative - but it is still one of my favourite ancient representations of a feline creature. <br />
<br />
Made around 500 B.C., now on display at Museo Nazionale Etrusco at Villa Giulia, Rome.<br />

<p>One of the most famous spiral staircases in the world is found in the vatican library. Really hard to photograph because it's so busy here. I liked having some people in the frame from this perspective, but went with a cleaner photo with no one in the frame for the birds eye POV I used in my other photo of this place.</p>
